Last guard of honour for Margaret Thatcher Saturday Sep 28,2013

The ashes of Baroness Thatcher were laid to rest on Friday Sep 27,2013 in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea

Friends and family, including her children Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, attended the short service in the hospital’s All Saints chapel in the Margaret Thatcher Infirmary, which the former Prime Minister opened in 2009

A solid oak casket containing her ashes was placed in the earth outside the infirmary and Sir Mark and Carol took turns to place a single red rose by the casket

A memorial stone bearing  the simple inscription ‘Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013’ was then laid
