Northampton will be represented at Margaret Thatcher’s funeral by Conservative MP, Brian Binley.
The 71-year old has been invited to the service, which will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, by Baroness Thatcher’s private office.
He said: “I’m really pleased to be invited and I feel privileged to be able to pay my respects in St Paul’s.”
Other confirmed guests for the funeral include Prime Minister David Cameron, deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and former Prime Ministers, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
On the day, more than 700 armed forces personnel will line the route of the procession from Westminster to St Paul’s.
A gun salute will also be fired from the Tower of London.
There has been criticism of the expected cost of the funeral, which has been estimated at between £8 million and £10 million.
But Baroness Thatcher’s estate have said they will make a contribution towards the cost.
On Wednesday, MPs spent more than seven hours debating the life of Baroness Thatcher and her legacy.
Among them was the Conservative MP for Northampton North, Michael Ellis, who had to wait six hours to speak.
He said: “It has been six hours very well spent. I would have waited 60 hours to speak in this debate.”
He added: “My late noble friend, Baroness Thatcher, was a true British patriot.
“She fought for Britain unashamedly and was devoted to this country. She devoted her life to public service and set an example to me at a very early age.”
MPs who attended the debate, which took place during the Easter recess, have been told they can claim up to £3,750 in travel expenses, but Mr Ellis has said he will make no claim.
