Re: last WW1 veteran to get state funeral

I think it's a bad idea. I can appreciate the sentiment behind it but it's wrong to wait for the last man to die then make a ceremonial occasion of his death. I agree with those who say a memorial service is far better. It would encompass all those who died and one family's grief wouldn't be so much of a circus.
