One protester with a megaphone is speaking
to the crowd, although it is hard to hear what he has to say as he is
drowned out by booing. An impromptu sing-song of Land of Hope and Glory
receives a cheer, as does the raising of a banner saying: "Margaret
Thatcher. She put the Great back into Great Britain." The pro-Thatcher
contingent appears to be ruling the roost here.

One protester stood outside the shop where Baroness Thatcher grew up in Grantham, Lincolnshire. John Morgan, secretary of the Grantham Labour Party, held a placard that said "Grantham resident against Maggie".
He said he was there to protest against the cost of the funeral.
1413:
One village scarred by pit closures,
Goldthorpe, in South Yorkshire, has held a "party" in protest at Lady
Thatcher's policies. A horse-drawn, open coffin housing an effigy of the
ex-Prime Minister, was paraded through the village. Read our full story here.

About 2,000 people have gathered in
Goldthorpe for the anti-Thatcher protest. The crowd seems to be good
natured. The South Yorkshire police helicopter is overhead. The scale of
the protest is so large that roads are blocked and traffic is having to
be turned round.
1444:
A planned protest is currently taking place
at Free Derry Corner in Londonderry, where around 60 nationalists
gathered at 14:00 BST. Some are holding pictures of hunger strikers and
one or two anti-Margaret Thatcher banners can be seen. The protest is
peaceful, and roads have not been blocked. Participants include mothers
with their children and police are keeping a low profile.
1454:
The planned anti-Thatcher protest by
nationalists at Free Derry Corner ended at 14.45 BST. Everyone has
dispersed, and the entire event passed peacefully.
1533:
The Metropolitan Police officer in charge
of security for Baroness Thatcher's funeral has thanked Londoners and
visitors for their co-operation. Commander Christine Jones also praised
those who "enabled us to facilitate their peaceful protest in a way
which did not impact either their protest or those who wished to pay
their respects". The Met had 4,000 officers on duty for the funeral.
1608 Matthew Paddock, London
emails: Agreed the amount being spent on
the funeral is way too much. However protesting against Margret
Thatcher? Is a bit late for that now? This is a funeral to pay respects
for another persons life. Regardless of how you think she ran the
country, today isn't about that.
撒切爾葬禮途中遭和平示威 反對者舉辦慶祝活動
撒切爾夫人靈柩沿途所經之地，民眾的反對呼聲不絕于耳。
據英國《衛報》4月18日報道，英國前首相撒切爾夫人的葬禮17日在倫敦舉行，在其靈柩經過市中心時，遭到了數百名反對者的和平示威。當地時間17日上午10時45分開始，在撒切爾夫人靈柩沿途所經之地，“浪費了多少錢”和“保守黨的敗類”等反對呼聲不絕于耳，更有甚者鼓起了掌。
在南約克郡的一處前採礦社區，撒切爾夫人的肖像被放在一個倣制的棺材上，人們把棺材抬到荒郊野外，大聲咒罵“破壞罷工者、破壞罷工者、破壞罷工者”。在英格蘭東北部和南威爾士的前採礦社區，也有類似的慶祝活動。蘇格蘭的工會和社會活動者甚至計劃舉辦集會，聲討撒切爾政府統治時期給工會和社區所帶來的磨難。（來源：中國日報網 歐葉 編輯：王菁）
