Is this true? because the Daily Mail reported it so obviously I need something more reliable than that

Last year Guardian reported 'there were no plans' for a state funeral.

Anyone heard this from anywhere other than the DM?

Why not ask a few ex-miners to line the streets! - I bet they'd be delighted.

In my defense, I thought exactly the same thing.

DP thinks there would be protests.

Some of the comments on that link are rather erm interesting. Lots of Americans singing her praises - very odd imo.
