[MargaretR]

This controversy would not have arisen if the people who seemingly adored her had let her depart gracefully without pomp, ceremony and public expense.

In their arrogance, they seriously misjudged the situation.

Her supporters should have let her 'die gracefully' and quietly, having a family funeral only.


PS Since there have been accusations that parties are in bad taste, I consider that a Faulkland war theme for the funeral is in far worse taste.
