Also, honest question, but did Harold Wilson do anything similar when Clement Attlee died? The 45-51 Labour government, after all, was as objectively groundbreaking as the 79-97 Tory government was.
I would like to know the answer to this too. I don't think I've ever heard anything about Clement Attlee's funeral.
I've had a look and
tributes were made in the Commons after returning from the summer recess about two weeks after his death.
Not found any details about his funeral, but there was a memorial service during which his ashes were interred in Westminster Abbey. (
