The Queen led mourners Wednesday in St Paul's Cathedral at the funeral of Baroness Thatcher, Britain's longest serving prime minister of modern times.
More than 2,000 dignitaries from around the world paid their last respects at the biggest such occasion since the Queen Mother's funeral in 2002.
Lady Thatcher's coffin was carried through streets lined by mourners and members of the three armed forces.
PM David Cameron said it was a "fitting tribute" to a major figure.
Four thousand police officers were on duty in central London, which saw large crowds along the route of her funeral procession, which was conducted with full military honours.
