Lady Thatcher's funeral

I'm so relieved this went off well and without violence. I only saw a snatch of it mymself because I was away all day. But my small granddaughter did see it, and having been warned that people might protest by turning their  backs to the cortege, was very shocked to see the police doing just that.

"Darling," said my daughter. "That's okay. It's called crowd control."

Phew.
