Thousands attend funeral of Margaret Thatcher

http://www.euronews.com/ The funeral of Margaret Thatcher is taking place at London's St Paul's Cathedral. The procession began at the Palace of Westminster where the former British prime minister's coffin lay overnight. Thousands of people lined the route as the cortege made its way through the capital. Most people clapped in respect but about two dozen opponents turned their backs on the procession. Honoured with a gun salute from the Tower of London every minute and the silencing of the Big Ben bell, British soldiers played Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Chopin to accompany the grandest funeral for a British politician since that of Thatcher's hero, Winston Churchill, in 1965.
