Rejected petition State Funeral for Tony Benn

More details

At the appropriate time, (which I hope will be later rather than sooner). Tony Benn should be afforded a state funeral, in recognition of his services to this country as a defender of liberty against the evils of Nazism during World War II, and most notably, for his services to politics and the people of this country throughout his lifetime.
