LINE THEM WITH OUR TROOPS:
Lady Thatcher to be honoured with State funeral (Katie Nicholl and Simon Walters, 7/13/08, Daily Mail)
Margaret Thatcher is to be given the ultimate accolade of a State funeral when she reaches the end of her days – the first British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill to be afforded such an honour.But the possibility of a formal procession could be jeopardised by fears that there are insufficient troops available to line the route because the Armed Forces are so overstretched in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Overstretched with (what?) 10,000 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq?

No need, she's being buried at St. Paul's.

Will the time-zone rule be broken when that sad day comes?
