Gallery: Pomp and protests for funeral of Baroness Thatcher
ByThe Courier Reporter
The Queen led mourners at the ceremonial funeral of Baroness Thatcher in St Pauls Cathedral, as thousands lined the streets of London to pay their respects to the UKs first female prime minister. Lady Thatcher, who died aged 87, was given full military honours, with the coffin bearing her body brought in procession to the cathedral on a gun carriage drawn by six black horses. Predictions of large-scale protests on the funeral route proved unfounded, but groups across the country also chose to register their anger at the former prime ministers time in power.
