I knew they were having a funeral in Ohio. But just assumed would be getting a state funeral, or being buried at Arlington.

From what I understand it was Neil's wishes that things be low key.

My friend Luigi has posted some photos from the Armstrong memorial service held yesterday if anyone would like a look. The text is in Italian but the pictures tell the story...........

BBC2 Tonight (30th December) 2100 - 2200 Neil Armstrong - First Man on the Moon

Close family and friends - many of whom have never spoken publicly before - tell the story of former astronaut Neil Armstrong. The film examines his childhood during the Great Depression, his transfer to America's space programme and his historic mission as commander of Apollo 11 in July 1969. There is also a look at how he coped with life after Nasa and the relentless demands of fame that continued until his death in August 2012. Including interviews with his widow Carol, his first wife Janet and their sons Rick and Mark, his siblings Dean and June and best friend Kotcho Solacoff, as well as fellow astronauts Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Charlie Duke and Dave Scott.
