Members of the armed services will line the route of Baroness Thatcher's funeral procession from the Palace of Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral, Downing Street said yesterday.
In a statement, it was confirmed that Lady Thatcher would be given a ceremonial funeral with full military honours. It is expected to take place next week, but a date has not been confirmed.
Number 10 said a wide range of friends and colleagues would be invited to the service at St Paul's, which would be followed by a private cremation. The funeral itself will be televised.
The day before the funeral the coffin will be transferred to the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster. There will be a short service following its arrival before the coffin rests in the chapel overnight.
