With Thatcher’s Death, Britain Remembers Its ‘Iron Lady’ -- Washington Post
LONDON — With the Union Jack at half-mast over No. 10 Downing Street, Britain on Monday embarked on a period of mourning for its most transformative peacetime prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, whose death after a long battle with dementia provoked a wave of emotive reflection from a normally stoic nation still deeply divided by her legacy.
Britain prepared for the most elaborate send-off of any prime minister since Winston Churchill. Thatcher, who was 87, will not have a state funeral — a rare event typically reserved for monarchs here. But in a nod to the late prime minister as a molder of history both inside and outside Britain, Queen Elizabeth II consented to honor her with a final farewell — including military honors, a parade through central London and a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral next week — of the same ceremonial status as the 1997 national goodbye to Diana, Princess of Wales.
