BARONESS Thatcher's ashes have been laid interred in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Members of her family attended a short church service in the chapel of the central London site on Saturday before a solid oak casket containing her ashes was placed in the ground.
A headstone bearing the simple inscription "Margaret Thatcher 1925 - 2013" was being erected on top of her final resting place in the leafy hospital grounds.
Britain's first female prime minister died aged 87 on April 8.
Twelve Chelsea Pensioners dressed in their distinctive scarlet coats formed a guard of honour as her ashes were placed alongside those of her husband Sir Denis, who died in 2003.
Prayers were said by hospital chaplain the Reverend Richard Whittington as her family members comforted one another.
Among the small group of mourners was Lady Thatcher's former private secretary Lord Powell and Lord Bell, her former political adviser.
Her children each placed a single red rose alongside the casket.
