Shots from an annual fireworks display to celebrate Guido Fawkes. In the funfair some fluffy animals are hung from string - shame they did not have any geese, bears, seagulls or otters.

Lady Thatcher - The Iron Lady Moves On
Across the nation we have seen many signs of discontent with regard to Lady Thatcher’s spell as PM. We have also witnessed only the second national funeral held for a PM in our recent history. Whilst phantom political groups were burning effigies of Lady Thatcher, others were laying flowers outside the house where she grew up in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Image: The name of the street where the hearse drove out from The Houses of Parliament. Rather fitting.
With no preference for taking a position, one cannot fail to appreciate the magnitude of some of Lady Thatcher’s achievements and their long-term benefits to Great Britain. Her iron-caste mandates helped steady the ship, and perhaps helped this nation stay above water in recent times.
You always have to be a particular type of person to participate in national politics. And it is clear that Lady Thatcher was one such character with a refreshingly realistic perspective on the world’s state of affairs: “Pennies don’t fall from heaven - they have to be earned here on earth,” one of the many phrases coined by The Iron Lady.

The hearse rolled through Whitehall before transferring on to the gun carriage near Trafalgar Square. Here, Lady Thatcher passes The Cenotaph for one of the last times. Near Downing Street.

The streets around Parliament Square and Whitehall were very busy. Here, one unassuming person feels rather colourful.

With mass gatherings, peering from above is always far more superior than being on the ground. Even a small elevation can make the world of difference. Many people had brought stools to stand on.
