An estimated quarter of a million people lined the streets to St Paul’s to bid farewell to Margaret Thatcher. We turned up mainly, of course, to pay our final respects to one of the greatest political leaders of the western world. But we came also, I am sure, to demonstrate how the tiny minority of bile spewing ersatz “revolutionaries”, eagerly sought out by the well heeled chattering class hacks from planet BBC/Guardian did not speak for the ordinary folk of all ages and from every walk of life who came into London today.

A quarter million people paying their respects to MT don’t seem to have interested the news media as much as did a few dozen YOBs screaming Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. For some reason.
Thank you for posting this. Margaret Thatcher will be missed ... especially on the other side of the pond.
God Bless The Iron Lady!
It's hundreds versus hundreds of thousands.
I remember when an incredible amount of people lined the streets in California to pay respect to Reagan, old Bernie Shaw of CNN admitted they got something wrong about Reagan.
I wish I could have been there with you. RIP Margaret Thatcher.
Congrats Sussex and ignore hitlergunner. He thinks he owns this place and is a jerk censor.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Stunning -- lovely observation. Glad you were there. Wish I had been. My son used to live just near there. I walked that route and attended services at St. Paul's. I had been so dreading any disorder; fortunately, the traditional British character and decorum seems to still have prevailed.
