I know that this may well have been discussed before on this site but I cannot find a thread at the moment.
I would be interested to know the correct protocol with regard to this as my understanding is that there are in most countries well-defined protocols. If memory serves I seem only to remember "semi-military" funerals in Rhodesia in most instances and then only when death occurred in combat or on official duties.
My own feeling is that a noble tradition becomes devalued if it falls outside fairly strict protocols.
