We kindly request a State Funeral for David Bowie

Bowie shaped generations and soundtracked the lives of millions. He was the ultimate cultural icon. We hereby request that Parliament and the monarch give consent to Bowie’s life being celebrated with a State Funeral. Fancy dress for those lining the streets of London should be obligatory.

The Government and the House of Commons do not have the power to decide that someone should receive a state funeral. You can find out more about this here:

You could start a new petition asking the House of Commons to ask the Queen for a state funeral to be given, and for the House of Commons to provide the money for a state funeral.
