Queen arrives at Margaret Thatcher's funeral

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were among the final guests to arrive for Baroness Thatcher's funeral. They got to St Paul's Cathedral around fifteen minutes before the service was due to begin at 11am. The National Anthem was played by the Band of the Welsh Guards as the Queen's car arrived at the cathedral's entrance. It is the first time the monarch has attended the funeral service of a former prime minister since Sir Winston Churchill's state ceremony in 1965. Report by Sophie Foster.

[@jameswellington8676]

Neutral Observer. Quite the contrary. It's actually the fact that I have a strong love for politics, if I can't get anywhere in music you can expect to see me in politics in some formation. Why would I get a job? When I can further my studies at university; that will evidently grant me much higher intellect that a working class pig such as yourself. Why would I get a job in the now where your industry or job will most likely be non existent. The education system now is making a future investment in jobs that don't even exist yet. We are the future, like it or not. You'll be a fossil who is out of touch with the modern world by the time I'm out of uni. I'll get a higher paying job than you and I'll pay higher taxes than you. My dad probably pays more in taxes than you earn in an annual salary . Surely you must know that someone who is taxed 40% contributes more to reform, legislation the working classes beloved NHS. I'll laugh if you become redundant in a few years, have fun getting another job when you are so under educated. You criticism Thatcher yet what she did has probably put you in better stead, for example the Right to Buy Scheme allowed some of the poorest and previously disenfranchised people in society a way to buy their own homes. Thatcher’s government crushed the grip the public sector and government held over the country and created a far better environment for entrepreneurial people to thrive. When she became prime minister in 1979, the top tax rate was a pernicious 98%; the bottom rate was 65%. However much or little you earned, you were paying most of your money in taxes, making any business activity or desire to be self-sufficient very difficult. When Margaret Thatcher left office in 1990, the top tax rate was down to 40% and the bottom tax rate was 25%. By cutting taxes and regulation people could keep and spend more of their own money, businesses thrived and the British economy was revitalized. You'd be fucked without Thatcher you uneducated pig. I also see you call me a *pedo* (which is the correct spelling thus proving how uneducated you are) yet refer to my mother being around in the 80's which suggests I'm in the range between 16-23 years of age... How can I be a pedo if you are obviously older than me? Please go back to school and get a valuable education before you spew a load of socialist shite... It's amusing to see how young adults are much more intelligent than their predecessors, must be the work of Mr Gove. If you need me to educate you further reply, if you persist to be abuse then don't reply at all because it's futile and subsequently conveys how much of a muppet you are! :)

If the argument is simply that she "Changed Britain" then Clement Attlee had just as much, if not more, of an effect and did not receive a state funeral.

I thought this is a funeral. But when the queen arrived it was like a party

How many couples in their 90s do you know that can walk up a flight of stairs unassisted like they did? I am beginning to believe the reptilian rumors about them.

Ceremony is everything especially within the name of the monarchy

[@nardsvlogs7446]

I like how the British monarchy do this pomp and circumstance when the queen arrives in a certain places and celebration, with all the guards around, the band, the music. Unlike other royalties, that when their monarch arrives is not organized. Royalty means British monarchy or vice versa.

Rest in Peace baroness Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher We Korean always thankful for your Royal Highness. We owe your contributions for many areas. I have learned some legal subject such as Common law, Equity and International law in my Korea University days. And I have read newspapers and my English BIBLE from time to time. I'm just novice your Royal baroness. I have bought Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)memoirs but didn't read yet. My English is very poor. I have had a United Kingdom pen friend when I was high school student, she was working at bakery.

Whe she attended the funeral she probably did not think that 8 years to the day, she would bury her husband.

[@charlesdcw1990]

The monarch is a symbol of prestige for this counrty. It unlike a president balances out the authority of one person calling the shots. The monarch holds powers that are only allowed use in the most dire of circumstances. These powers have never been exercised so we have no idea the extent of their influence. The monarch is the head of state, the PM's boss. He/she MUST answer to the Soverign. A recent senario in the Cold war is a prime example of the Soverign's influence over the government:

[@wotan10950]

This was a royal symbol of respect for the prime minister. They may have differed on policy and personal issues, but they had deep admiration for one another.

[@mellamanluiselio6294]

Well, the Queen attended to just TWO funerals of PMs, those being Thatcher's and Churchill's. That pretty much says on which side of the political spectrum she stood.

[@wotan10950]

@@mellamanluiselio6294 Oh, I'm not so sure about that! From many sources, the Queen was rather appalled by some of Thatcher's policies, and she wasn't astute enough at the time to fully understand Churchill's. I think she attended their funerals because both Churchill and Thatcher were so influential, for better or worse, and made a huge impact on Britain, much more so than any other prime ministers.

[@kapatidtomas]

If she hadn't died of a stroke, she would be 99 by now and as almost as immortal to the Queen

[@thegodofimagination]

The Queen is 95 and the was just 6 months between them so I don't think she would be 99 unless some real timey wimy stuff happened

[@jamesbismarck4792]

lol never seen the Queen look so happy

[@leftyfourguns]

Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the Church of England and a very devout Christian. She's worked her whole life following the teachings of Jesus, that is to care for the less fortunate. Margret Thatcher was the complete and utter opposite of that. There is absolutely no comparison. The Queen uses her position of power to enrich others. Thatcher used her position of power to oppress others

[@jeffschwartz7049]

The Queen and her consort!!!!!!!!!! (A consort is one that is married to a person within the royal blood line - but they can never be king or queen - because they are either outside of the royal bloodline or not in succession!!)

[@gidzmobug2323]

Jeff Schwartz Philip is in the succession--but way down the list (around the 500s).

[@leftyfourguns]

The consort to a queen is never called king because traditionally king has been a higher rank than queen. If he were called King Phillip, it would be assumed he was the head of state.

[@areiaaphrodite]

""The Queen unlike Thatcher was/is compleatly humble to the british people. She was/is not trying to be popular for a government party" Why would she even have to when she is already inheritent of fame and wealth? Thatcher had to fight tooth and nail. a monarchy is a system of tyranny. A well balanced and layed out republic that restricts power is the only stepping stone so far discovered for human freedom and progress while reducing poverty." I'm afraid I really have to disagree with you. I think the Queen, knowing that her position is inherited is extremely humbled about her political/social position and I think she truly loves her country as well. Because the Queen had never really personally liked Mrs. Thatcher and could have easily binned her if she wanted to. However, she respected her enough, despite her personal feelings toward her to make her a peer in life for her service to the country; and honour her in death by attending her funeral. I think the Queen honestly cares about the well being of her people (and her Commonwealth HOSs) and would do anything for them. I think she's a very genuine, sweet woman

[@areiaaphrodite]

thank you!

[@AZZACraft]

Well The Queen even did her Bit in WW2 and all royals continue to do their bit in the Armed services and for this country

[@charlesregan4576]

Which is more than Thatcher ever did as she refused to serve her country in WW2 in the women's branches of the services, in the factories or in the Land Army.

[@royporter4232]

Margaret Thatcher was only 14 when war broke out and 20 when it ended.

[@charlesregan4576]

Which means that from the age of 16, or 18, she could and should have served the country and helped the war effort as millions of other women did. She refused to do so.
