State Funeral For The Last Veteran Of The Great War (EDM1288)

State Funeral For The Last Veteran Of The Great War

EDM number 1288 in 2005-06, proposed by Iain Duncan Smith on 19/12/2005.

That this House notes with enormous gratitude the sacrifice made by all United Kingdom armed forces through the ages in defence of this country and its values; notes particularly the very special nature of the sacrifice made by those who fought in the First World War in appalling conditions and with terrible loss of life; further notes that there are very few veterans of the First World War still living in the United Kingdom; and urges the Prime Minister to recommend to Her Majesty that the particular nature of their sacrifice be acknowledged and celebrated by granting a state funeral to the last British veteran of the First World War at the time of his death.

This motion has been signed by a total of 97 MPs.
