Scene at daybreak as hundreds of servicemen rehearse former PM's funeral



This people no go kill person ohh,  can you imagine this is just a rehearsal to make sure everything goes  well, looks like the real thing.




More than 700 serving Armed Forces personnel gathered in central London at 4.30am as a Union flag-draped coffin was carried on a horse-drawn gun carriage from St Clement Danes, the church of the Royal Air Force, down the Strand to St Paul's Cathedral. As dawn broke across, the procession band played the funeral marches of Chopin, Beethoven and Mendelssohn as it made its way along the deserted streets. During the rehearsal the military and police wore their working dress and high visibility clothes respectively, but they will be in ceremonial uniform on the day of the funeral. Major Andrew Chatburn, the man in charge of choreographing the parade, said it 'went very well' and the trial was 'vitally important' to the staging of Wednesday's event.
