Good for you Donna, yes Sir Edmund will be laid to rest today, huge state funeral here today for him, i will watch some of the proceedings on the telly,it is the first state funeral to my knowledge in some time, apparently a lot of NZer's are feeling upset because a representative of the monarchy will not be present,after all we are a member of the commonwealth, i think it would have been appropriate for someone to attend myself, he was a great man indeed.

So yes Sir Ed will leave in style ,my thoughts are with his family today.
