The Funeral

A bit of a cheat taking a blip from the television, but I spent the morning watching Margaret Thatcher's funeral while doing the ironing, and this made a more interesting blip than my pile of ironing!

Once again, as with the Royal Wedding, I was impressed by the precision and fine organisation with which the funeral was carried out, down to the last minute, under difficult circumstances. These Chelsea Pensioners were standing to attention for ages - no mean feat in their advanced years.

I'm glad for all their sakes that London wasn't having the same filthy weather that we're having!
