And this despite what ever was at stake. Special homage should also be paid to her for the sake of history, posterity and national identity.<br /><br />On this issue I stand <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/margaret-thatcher/9980312/Margaret-Thatcher-Dont-waste-money-on-a-flypast-at-my-funeral.html" rel="nofollow">corrected</a>, and naturally if such was her wish, it has to be respected.
