The Bishop of London gave the address at the service, opening with the line: "After the storm of a life lived in the heat of political controversy, there is a great calm."
He went on to say: "She applied herself to her work with formidable energy and passion. But she continued to reflect on how faith and politics related to one another."
The service included two Biblical readings, one by Baroness Thatcher's granddaughter, Amanda, and the other by Prime Minister, David Cameron.
