Hello Malcolm, Nice to see you still active on list. It is commonly recognised that 750,000 signatures are required for the government to at least take any notice, therefore I see no reason to speak against this petition when looking at the time span permitted and the numbers signing, I cannot foresee the petition reaching anywhere close to this figure. I do feel it would have been better to word the petition in a manner that rejoiced the bravery of those that survived the massive loss of life on the Somme 1916 and Salonika 1918 rather than a 'repeat' of a state funeral already given.
