A new opinion poll in the UK today reveals that the majority of British people do not want to pay for Margaret Thatcher's funeral.

More than half of people in a Sunday Mirror poll said they believe the taxpayer should not have to pick up the bill.

The funeral is reportedly costing £10 million. 

Keiran Pedley from Comres who conducted the survey said the results showed how the former British Prime Minister remains as divisive in death as in life.
