Thatcher Funeral Cost Revealed By Number 10


Baroness Thatcher's funeral cost the taxpayer an estimated £3.6m, Downing Street has confirmed.
Several thousand invited mourners attended the funeral at St Paul's Cathedral, including dignitaries from around the world and all Lady Thatcher's prime ministerial successors.
The presence of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh effectively raised it to a state event.
It was the first time the monarch had attended the funeral service of a former prime minister since Sir Winston Churchill's state ceremony in 1965.
The amount revealed by the Government includes some £2m "opportunity costs" for police who would have been on other duties on the day.
Ceremonial costs, including the service at St Paul's, the reception at the Mansion House and the printing and circulation of invitations, came to around £500,000.
An estimated £1.1m went on additional security and policing.
The final costs will be published in due course, although the Prime Minister's spokesman said he expected they would be close to the estimated totals.
No 10 confirmed Lady Thatcher's family would be making a contribution to the overall bill, including the undertakers' costs and flowers.

When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...

This just came in to our mailbox..  Anonymous source says: Good day 411vibes and nice blog, I want to share this video with you guys so as to make girls know or realise that things they do in their boyfriend’s room just to please them can backfire some time soon and I mean when the boy is tired of seeing the same face every time. The girl is doing a Diploma programme in University of Lagos. (Unilag). The boy happens to be a friend to my cousin and after he shared the video with his friends, they kept doing same.
