英国首相府宣布,将为英国首位女首相举行“礼仪葬礼”,包括皇家乘骑炮兵部队的炮车,军队列队行进以及圣保罗大教堂的仪式,规格与英国已故王太后和戴安娜王妃的葬礼相同。
Ceremonial funeral(礼仪葬礼)一般来说只有王室家族的高层成员(senior members of the royal family)才能享受,而且举办礼仪葬礼需得到女王的首肯(the consent of the Queen);而国葬(state funeral)则多为王室君主(sovereign as head of state)举行,举行国葬需要先在议会投票表决(motion or vote in Parliament)。礼仪葬礼比国葬要低一级,不过两种葬礼通常都包括遗体告别仪式(lying in state)以及在威斯敏斯特教堂或圣保罗大教堂举行的葬礼仪式(Westminster Abbey service or a service at St Paul's Cathedral)。
英国此次为撒切尔夫人举行的是带有军事荣誉的“礼仪葬礼”(a ceremonial funeral with military honours)。葬礼前一天,她的灵柩将被送至到国会大厦内的圣玛丽教堂(
Chapel2 of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster,home to Britain's Houses of Parliament),葬礼当天,灵柩将由灵车(hearse)送至圣克莱蒙•戴恩斯教堂,之后被放至皇家乘骑炮兵部队的炮车(gun carriage)由皇家乘骑炮兵部队(King's Troop Royal Artillery)引领沿街列队行进,沿途会有三军士兵(tri-service military personnel)和普通民众瞻仰并表达哀思,最后到达圣保罗大教堂进行葬礼仪式(funeral service)。葬礼第二天,将会进行私人火化仪式(private
cremation3)。
