La exprimera ministra británica Margaret Thatcher, fallecida este lunes a los 87 años, tendrá un funeral ceremonial en la catedral de San Pablo, anunció Downing Street, con lo que se descarta un funeral de Estado.

'Downing Street puede anunciar que, con el consentimiento de la Reina, Lady Thatcher recibirá un funeral ceremonial con honores militares', declaró en un comunicado sin precisar fechas.

Con motivo del fallecimiento de Thatcher, el actual primer ministro británico David Cameron acortó un viaje por Europa y regresará a Londres este lunes.

'Sí, acorta su viaje. Está regresando de Madrid, se espera que esté de vuelta' en Londres el lunes al atardecer, dijo a la AFP un portavoz de la residencia del primer ministro, Downing Street.

Cameron se hallaba en la capital española manteniendo conversaciones con su homólogo español Mariano Rajoy. Tenía previsto viajar luego a Paris para entrevistarse con el presidente francés Francois Hollande, pero esa visita ha sido pospuesta.
