State funeral of Baroness Margaret Thatcher

Just saw the live from BBC of the Funeral. Very solemn, grand, incredibly powerful. took some pics from the laptop (silly thought, I know_). What stroke me most: the Queen was silent and grieving genuinely. Few speeches, few songs, St Paul's surrounding which seemed so irrelevant and perhaps even too large for the small coffin covered with Union Jack(

Apparently some guys from the crowd found the process boring, since after the Queen left, you could see some cheerful faces - talking, discussing, laughing, enjoying themselves and their little company. You could observe this intricate sense of arrogance over the fact that they were invited into the Sanctum. Very blessed shall they be. Jokes aside, everything seemed quite well organized and the sight of taking the coffin up and down the Cathedral's stairs was absolutely moving!

Dont understand the people on the streets boouing the procession. Quite unpatriotic and wretched. She did so much for the British, and such a long time passed, I just dont get it.

Sleep well, Lady. We will remember you, even here in Kazakhstan_)
