Over 2,000 people have been invited to Baroness Thatcher's funeral.
The Queen and Duke Of Edinburgh.
All surviving former prime ministers and former US presidents, along with Hillary Clinton.
Tony and Cherie Blair, and Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah.
Any members of Lady Thatcher's Cabinet who are still alive are invited, along with the current Cabinet and Labour leader Ed Miliband.
Michael Portillo, singer Shirley Bassey, TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jeffrey Archer.
FW de Klerk, the last president of apartheid South Africa.
Argentinian president Cristina Kirchner. ( Not invited )
But former Labour leader Lord Kinnock ( as mentioned in previous thread can't attend as he's at another funeral), also former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan's wife Nancy as they are both unwell to travel.
Plus I guess 100's of FBI agents to protect the US and Former US presidents.

I'm a bit out of sync with the news today but WTF? Is that a wind up? no way could they have seriously asked her? are they trying to start a diplomatic incident!
Notable as she has NOT been invited. So I don't know where you're getting your info from.
I shall not be watching it, as the motley collection of celeb sycophants will just remind me of what it used to be like when she was swinging that bloody handbag. And how I hated all in her ghastly cabal.
The sooner this is over the better.
It's not true....she was never invited...occy got it wrong...
Ahhh
lol I was thinking wtf
Indeed, but I fear the media will be in a feeding frenzy by Wednesday.
What I would like to see is for those who couldn't stand her, to line the route wearing 'Spitting Image' masks, or to simply turn their backs as the cortege passes.
However, I don't suppose much of the population will be very bothered at all.
Occy said she wasn't invited. It was done in a confusing way but there all the same.
I am surprised that she is still alive. She must be a very old lady now.
91 years old
Em no Beckham not the whole country stick to football sonny

I thought he was midfield, not a right winger.
Yes, probably not the best age to be doing a long flight just to sit in a cold church for a few hours.
Are the FBI there to protect the former presidents?

Agreed. I don't wish to get involved with who should take most credit, but I do believe that Reagan, Gorbachev and Thatcher did, between them, make the world a much safer place.
They did yes, all three against the grain too. Thatcher was the centre right ideologue who negotiated with her political enemies. Same goes for Reagen. Gorbachev was the same from the other side, a stringent left winger who engaged with his natural political enemies.
She will probably be just left with chris biggins and jim davidson in the end.
