Petition Details

David Bowie was more than a cultural icon - for more than a generation, he defined and reshaped British identity, culture and art. A man of not just national but global significance deserves an adequate send off

This petition was rejected

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:

http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN06600

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.
