Margaret Kittle, 79, said she travelled from Canada for the funeral as soon as she heard of the Iron Lady's death, taking up her position outside the historic landmark at 8am yesterday.
“It was a cold night, the damp goes through you,” she said. “But I always said I would come to the UK for Margaret Thatcher’s funeral because I respect her.
Londoner John Loughrey, 58, arrived at St Paul’s shortly after Mrs Kittle yesterday morning.
I came in respect of Lady Thatcher,” he said.
