The Most Incredible Photo From Margaret Thatcher's Funeral

Apr 17, 2013, 18:04 IST

One photo from the funeral of Margaret Thatcher today stands out from the rest — an aerial shot taken from the dome at London's St Paul's Cathedral.

St Paul's is an enormous building and only a small portion of the guests can be seen — there were 2,300 guests inside the Cathedral, with hundreds watching outside according to the Guardian.

Some guests can be seen clearly in the aerial shot — the two red chairs at the front are for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, for example. UK PM David Cameron and other former British PMs were seated next to the Queen, while Thatcher's family were seated on the front row to the right of the picture.

This photo gives a slightly closer viewpoint from a different angle (it was taken after the first, hence the slightly different location of Thatcher's coffin):
