Howard invited to attend Thatcher funeral

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 11 April 2013 | 23.09

JOHN Howard has been invited to attend Margaret Thatcher's funeral as one of 24 members of the Order of Merit (OM).

The former Liberal prime minister received the rare insignia at Buckingham Palace in May last year.

The honour is bestowed by the monarch upon individuals who achieve exceptional distinction in the arts, learning, sciences and other areas such as public service.

Downing Street says the guest list to Baroness Thatcher's funeral next Wednesday has been drawn up by her family and representatives with assistance from the government.

In a statement on Thursday the British prime minister's office said "those invited include ... Members of the Order of Merit".

Mr Howard, who was opposition leader at the same time Lady Thatcher was in government, said this week that the former British PM, who died on Monday aged 87, transformed her country.

"What was so outstanding about her, she was resolute and she was determined," he told Melbourne radio on Tuesday.

"She is the greatest British prime minister since Churchill."
