Margaret Thatcher :1925-2013

I heard they call him 'Hoople'
Rock on.

 

What....did they put that on especially? Were they expecting anyone?

 

The BBC News did it better...Still showing on newschannel. Packed town not just the burning bit.

 

Actually it wasn't too bad,

 

Awww Goldthorpe-I know it well. I wouldn't really pay too much attention to what they do there-It's like the Land that Time Forgot minus the dinosaurs.

 

That TV screen is opposite the Town Hall and always has the News channel on for the local councillors hard at work

I drive passed it everyday when I'm going into Leeds General Infirmary.

Yes it was well organised and respectful.
The Military as ever were outstanding along with all involved.

 

I've been "out of the country" for a few days...

Better quality here.



I'm wondering whether it's Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester.

 

Is that a Gatling Gun on the gun carriage?

 

Still no takers?



While searching for possibilities, I found this potted history of state and military funerals:

It looks like it could be a WW1 Q.F. 18 Pounder gun carriage?
