I agree.

There are many other very important news items around which are dropping off the scripts. Children's hospitals, etc etc etc.
No offence intended to anyone, any political party, or anywhere, however, let the story go.

"What is your opinion?" can only go so far.

As far as I am concerned, the expression:-

"Breaking News" is now devalued. After 6 or 12 hours, this event is no longer-

"Breaking News".

Once again, no offence to anyone is intended. But there are, now, more important things going on, like a possible nuclear war in Korea!

Spanish TV news channels, normally only slightly interested in the UK,  led on Thatcher on the day she died. A cynic might say that the story was a welcome diversion from yet more embarassing revelations about dodgy (Spanish) politicians and wide-boy members of the royal family. Personally, I'm so glad I'm no longer a news correspondent, a week of Diana-style reverential broadcasting would do me in....

It is historically interesting-provided we see the actuality of the occasion and not the continual obituary re-runs, which sadly will always happen if you have rolling 24 hour news channels
Let us hope that next weeks funeral coverage will focus on the funeral service, the comings and goings and the service itself.
On Wednesday morning next, I cannot believe viewers will tolerate yet another BBC two hour pre-cursor of a newsreader(Huw Edwards?) interviewing historians and past politicians accompanied by idiotic One Show type TV vox pops of the crowd.
If in doubt re the style of the coverage-I would suggest the production team broadly emulate Churchill's funeral.
