The family of Baroness Thatcher line up for a final farewell as the
coffin of Britain's greatest peacetime Prime Minister is carried away
from St Paul's Cathedral this afternoon. Lady Thatcher's daughter Carol
(left) stood next to (left to right) her partner Marco Grass, Sarah
Thatcher, Mark Thatcher, and Lady Thatcher's grandchildren Michael and
Amanda following a moving ceremony. Amanda Thatcher, 19, proved she has
inherited the legendary courage of her grandmother that earned her the moniker of Iron Lady with a faultless delivery of the service's first reading before the 2,300 mourners and a worldwide television audience of millions. Among the mourners were the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prime Minister David Cameron and former Prime Ministers including Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Thousands of mourners lined the streets of London today as the capital
drew to a standstill for funeral of Margaret Thatcher. Some of her fans
camped out overnight to make sure they secured a good vantage point to
watch the cortege. Pockets of onlookers lining the streets applauded as
the hearse travelled up Whitehall, past Downing Street, while others
fell silent.
An estimated 250,000 people
had lined the streets of London to cheer and applaud the coffin as it
made its way through the capital on a gun carriage.
