MPs across Worcestershire have been handed invites to Baroness Thatcher’s funeral - sharing space with some of the world’s most iconic figures.

Every parliamentarian who has applied to attend Lady T’s service at St Paul’s Cathedral were sent emails today confirming they have seats.

It means Worcester MP Robin Walker, West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin and Peter Luff, who represents Md-Worcestershire, will be attending.

Former West Worcestershire MP Sir Michael Spicer is also among those on the list, and Worcester-based personal assistant Cynthia Crawford.

It comes after left-wing campaigners said there would be no demonstrations in Worcester to rival some of the unrest in other parts of the country.

Nearly 3,000 people have joined a Facebook group called ‘Maggie’s Good Riddance Party’ which claims protestors will line the streets of the Cathedral with their backs turned to it on Wednesday.

The page is being managed by a student from Tunbridge Wells.

An invitation to the funeral has also been accepted by distinguished painter Michael Noakes, from Malvern, who used to create portraits of The Iron Lady while she stayed in the county.

He would get invited to the Cottage in the Wood Hotel, in Malvern Wells, to spend time with the former premier during her annual breaks.

He said: “It was a total surprise that I was invited because I don’t really see myself as one of the establishment - but I’m sure it will be a very memorable occasion.”

Mrs Baldwin said: "Baroness Thatcher was a great fan and supporter of Worcestershire and made many friends here.

“It will be a privilege to attend the funeral and represent all the people who would like to pay their respects to a woman who was a great politician, a great leader and a great Briton.”

Other invitees said they were pleased to be on the guest list, which is set to number around 2,300.

Mr Walker, whose late father Lord Peter Walker served in Mrs Thatcher’s cabinet, said: “My father was in the commons with her for 31 years - I’m very pleased to be invited.”

Worcester Green Party Councillor Neil Laurenson , a member of Worcester Against The Cuts campaign group, said there had been no discussions over a protest.

The city council’s union jack flag over the Guildhall, which currently has a black ribbon on it as a sign of respect, is being lowered to half mast on Wednesday.

Actor and singer Michael Crawford, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, former Australian premier John Howard, advertising magnate Maurice Saatchi and classical singer Katherine Jenkins are among those invited.
