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.
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.
