A gun carriage bearing former British PM Margaret Thatcher's coffin is making its way to St Paul's Cathedral in a ceremonial procession to her funeral.
The BBC informs that the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards formed an honour guard, as church bells tolled.
Crowds watched in respectful silence as the procession began, accompanied by the Royal Marines band.
The funeral of Baroness Thatcher, Conservative Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, will be held at 11:00 BST (10:00 GMT) at St Paul's Cathedral in central London.
Some 2,300 people, representing 170 countries, are expected to attend the funeral. Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev is among them.
