The guest list was certainly eclectic. But some mourners had no difficulty standing out from the crowd.

Namely classical singer Katherine Jenkins, who seemed determined to show off her curves in a plunging cocktail-style dress and flared overcoat.

The 32-year-old mezzo-soprano, who is thought to have met Baroness Thatcher through their charity work for the Armed Forces, sparked outrage on Twitter from users who thought the dress was inappropriate for the stately occasion.

Clothing choice: The singer sparked comment on Twitter from users who thought the dress was inappropriate 

AngelaReedFox, said: ‘Just for a change, or perhaps in honour of the occasion, Katherine Jenkins could have put her cleavage away.’

Hilary McGowan said she was ‘not sure Katherine Jenkins’s cleavage is appropriate’.

 

Another Twitter user going by the name WellWilk added: ‘I think Katherine Jenkins could have put her cleavage away for just one day #thatcherfuneral.’

Fortunately from the neck upwards, Miss Jenkins, a favourite of the Royal family who has lunched privately with the Queen, was the epitome of elegance in a black Philip Treacy pillbox hat with netting.

I can't see a problem. She looks fine and the person who put this article together is nit picking.

the saddest thing is as a Welsh girl she should never have gone. - terry salad, sydney, 18/4/2013 10:34 Why exactly? How wonderful for Welsh Tories that we have someone living on the other side of the globe to tell us how to behave. Not all of us are stuck in the past, some of us have aspirations beyond dreary mining valleys. Have you been to the Rhondda? Depressing.

She looks lovely ...her breasts aren't pushed thru the top of her dress ready to jump out. She looks elegant.

Katherine certainly seems to like publicity these days. Perhpas that's why she chose to wear something low cut to a funeral service. She has a nice face and a good figure, so personally I think she should have covered up a little, she wouold have looked far more classy, which presumably is what she was trying to achieve?

Showing the cleavage is not wrong because it is low, it's wrong because it shows lack of repect.

Perhaps someone should have told her she was attending a funeral and not going to a fashion show.

The only prson who betrayed the miner was Scargill. More mines closed in both the '60s and the '70s than ever closed during Mrs T's tenure. She stood up to Scargill(and others) who was using the miners for is own political agenda of trying to again destabilise the democratically elected govt.
