She was a chemist originally. I think the service should reflect all her life, not just the political side.

Just caught this:
08.45: Conservative MP Gyles Brandreth has told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he expects Jim Davidson to attend Lady Thatcher's funeral as the former prime minister was a "great fan"...
Perhaps she can be excused on the grounds that, just as as she famously did not understand the literary allusions fed to her by her speechwriters, so she probably did not understand this person's racist/sexist/homophobic jokes.

No one appears yet to have speculated on whether or not Stephen Fry will be there.
But, as has been pointed out, this thread is supposed to be about music at MT's funeral service - which is perhaps why I've not mentioned a certain Requiem by someone who shares one of his names with George Lloyd...
