According to the London Evening Standard:
The Queen is to show her respect for Baroness Thatcher by attending the former prime minister’s funeral next week, it has been announced.
It will be the first time the Queen has attended the funeral of one of her prime ministers since Sir Winston Churchill died in 1965.
Lady Thatcher indicated she did not want the state event Churchill was granted, but will receive full military honours – the same status accorded the Queen Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales.
