The funeral of Baroness Thatcher, Conservative Prime Minister from
1979 to 1990, has taken place at St Paul's Cathedral in central London
on April 17.
Lady Thatcher died on Monday, 8 April, at the age of 87, after
suffering a stroke.
Her coffin was taken by gun carriage to the cathedral, accompanied
by members of the armed forces, who also lined the route.
Some 2,300 people attended the funeral, including the Queen, Duke of
Edinburgh and Prime Minister David Cameron.
A protest was staged along the
route of the funeral procession, although the crowds included many
thousands of well-wishers.
Former Prime Ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair also attended, as
well as celebrities including Dame Shirley Bassey and Jeremy Clarkson
The GCP event was set by request of Michael Duggan for 6 hours starting
at half an hour before the beginning of the procession, from 08:30
to 14:30 GMT. The result is Chisquare thatcher 21545.371
on 21600 df for p =
0.603 and Z = -0.260.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish
signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be
largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
