Margaret Thatcher protesters: In their own words
The vast majority of crowds lining the streets for Margaret Thatcher's funeral were hushed and respectful as her coffin passed, but there were some dissenting voices to be heard.
As the gun carriage made its way along the Strand towards Fleet Street, applause and boos competed, growing in volume.
"Like anyone else, she deserves a decent funeral, but not at the expense of the taxpayer" - Patricia Welsh, 69
In the busy crowds people rowed among themselves.

A small group of protesters gathered at Ludgate Circus, near to St Paul's, to demonstrate against the "glorifying" of Lady Thatcher's funeral and cuts to the welfare state.
One demonstrator, Dave Winslow, 22, an anthropology student from Durham, held an acrylic placard reading "Rest of us in Poverty" and wearing a T-shirt with the messages "power to the people" and "society does exist".
He said up to 200 demonstrators were expected.
"We plan to turn our backs," he said.
Patricia Welsh, a 69-year-old retired youth worker, joined the Facebook-organised protest at the junction of Ludgate Hill and Ludgate Circus.
She said: "I am absolutely furious that Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to spend £10 million on a funeral when normal people are having to face cutbacks, libraries are closing and the NHS is being cut - for the funeral of a Conservative woman.
"Like anyone else, she deserves a decent funeral, but not at the expense of the taxpayer."
The pensioner said 2013 reminds her of living in the 1980s.
"She sold out our workers, our social housing. What about the Irish, what about the steel workers?" - Mary MacMillan, 79
"If you're on benefits, you're made to feel like a scrounger and evil," she said.

Mary MacMillan, 79, said she had come to Trafalgar Square to voice her disdain over Lady Thatcher.
Bearing a poster of the Spitting Image depiction of the former leader, she said: "I'm not going to let all this guff we've heard on the TV and radio this morning and every minute since she died get David Cameron more votes for the Tory Party.
"I remember when she was elected. She sold out our workers, our social housing.
"What about the Irish, what about the steel workers?"
