I read online that the UK/Blair government is planing a State funeral when the last veteran from the trenchs passes away (about 10 still alive )

would be interested to know how do the folks on this site feel about this, is it a good idea or not ? , myself I think it's a bit presumtuous considering the number still alive . Whats next some bookie opening the odds on who will be last guy to croak .........
If the person was a family member , your Grandad/Greatgrandad, would you want a grining Tony Blair and all the other political sleezeballs at the family funeral ......
also has anyone seen the new movie Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas) about the football game on no-mans land during the Christmas truce in 1914 between the German , French and British troops ........not available in the states yet
