Baroness Thatcher was yesterday honoured with a sombre but spectacular funeral ceremony that paid tribute to
the ‘courage and perseverance’ of Britain's greatest peacetime prime
minister.
The Iron Lady's daughter Carol wept as she said a final
goodbye to her mother, and was comforted by her twin brother Sir Mark and his
wife Sarah as they arrived for the private service at Mortlake
Crematorium.
Earlier, under the great dome of St Paul's Cathedral,
the Queen joined dignitaries from 170 countries worldwide, friends, political foes and Lady Thatcher's
closest family members to celebrate the life of the UK's first and only female
premier.
More than 2,300 people from 170 countries attend the
former Conservative prime minister's funeral
