Margaret Thatcher's ashes laid to rest at Royal Hospital Chelsea

Baroness Thatcher's ashes have been laid to rest in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea at a service attended by her family and close friends.

The former prime minister's children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, were among those at the central London site.

Prayers were said before a solid oak casket containing her ashes was placed in the ground.

Lady Thatcher's ashes were placed next to those of her husband, Sir Denis.

A private service was held at All Saints Chapel in the hospital's Margaret Thatcher Infirmary, which she opened in 2009.

Music was provided by the chapel choir who sang Po Atarau, a traditional Maori song of goodbye in recognition of Lady Thatcher's family connections with New Zealand.

Took a good six months to melt the Iron Lady down. And now the whole process is to begin again elsewhere and may take quite a while longer. :tup:

How did a Mark get a title? He's a convicted criminal, isn't he?

Put her next to a jar of money at the back of the kitchen cupboard. She'd have liked that.
