Great Britain farewells to Margaret Thatcher

Lady Thatcher's coffin will travel from Westminster and be taken in procession through central London for the funeral at St Paul's Cathedral.

London prepares to host the funeral of former UK Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher.

The service at the cathedral will be attended by some 2,300 people representing 170 countries, including the Queen.

The authorities are not going to ban protests staged by critics of Mrs. Thatcher's policies.

Mrs. Thatcher died on 8 April after a stroke at the age of 87.

She was Conservative Prime Minister from 1979 until 1990.
