Ber999T,
You miss the point, we already have memorialisation enough, Another state funeral would not improve the situation of those courageous men and women in Iraq and Afaghanistan nor would it cause anything like the required sea-change in the thinking of our political masters. To believe otherwise is naive in the extreme. Another State funeral would have the same impact and would be treated by the media in the same way as the funeral of that dreadful Spencer woman and it would have precisely the opposite effect to the one intended.
The whole thing smacks of obsessively picking at a sore to keep it raw and painful, as if there were something enjoyable in it. You can almost imagine the strap line for the DVD; "WW1, a trauma that you and your family can treasure and enjoy for generations to come. Thrill again and again at the pointless loss of life. Be apalled anew at the brutality of it all. Cry yourself a river at a nation's poignant farewell. Featuring H.M. The Queen, The Massed Bands of the Household Division and a cast of millions."
