Full State funeral for Steven Hawkins
British physicist Stephen Hawking, who dedicated his life to explaining some of the most complex questions about life and the universe, has died age 76.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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.
