Lemmy needs a UK state funeral
Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and Hawkwind has been hugely influential as a driving force in music for over 50 years - he deserves a UK state funeral.
Lemmy has been hugely influential as a force in music for over 50 years - from rock'n'roll to blues, punk and metal, whilst remaining unique, loud and original. Lemmy was a practicing anarchist who believed in a compassionate form of freedom, loathed professional politics and polticians but is admired at home and far beyond our shores. Lemmy was a man of the people, yet internationally famous, his contribution to humanity will not and should not be forgotten - he deserves a UK state funeral.

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.
