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
