Photos From Margaret Thatcher's Funeral...RiP

Was the service "too political"? That was always going to be the question. But how could it have been otherwise? It was never going to be straightforward to distinguish Margaret Thatcher the person from Margaret Thatcher the politician. Apart from Denis, she was all politics. And the service inevitably reflected this. Outside the cathedral, the whole military shebang did have the feel of a state-backed quasi-political event. See more pics below
