The Queen arrives at St Pauls Cathedral for Barroness Thatcher funeral.

St Paul’s Cathedral as the Queen and more than 2,000 dignitaries pay their last respects to Baroness Thatcher. The Honourable Artillery Company fired a gun every minute, from Tower Wharf at the Tower of London, while the procession took place. There was no fly-past by the Royal Air Force. Baroness Thatcher requested that there shouldn’t be one, reportedly concerned about the costs. There were 2,300 guests filling St Paul’s for the service. The dignitaries began taking their seats at 10:00 BST, with the Queen being escorted to her seat at 10:45 BST. Those invited included family and friends of Baroness Thatcher, surviving members of her cabinets, former chiefs of staff and members of the current cabinet and opposition. Current and former world leaders close to Baroness Thatcher were personally invited alongside about 200 official representatives from states, territories and international organisations.
