Margaret Thatchers spectacular ceremonial funeral cost the taxpayer just £1.2 million ($1.8 million), just a fraction of the sum claimed by left-wing opponents.
The final bill for the ceremony at St Pauls Cathedral was revealed by ministers today in a rebuff to critics who suggested the costs would top £10 million ($15.4 million).
Officials said that detailed work on the price of security, policing, staff overtime and hiring the Cathedral meant the total was much lower than early estimates suggested.

In expensive when compared to the cost of unraveling her domestic and international policies by the left.

Barry has pre-arranged a $1 BILLION funeral for himself. You don’t want to hear his plans.

Meanwhile, last year we spent 1.4 billion dollars on o’dummy, wookie and their two worthless brats. I’d say the UK got a bargain.
