[cinrit]

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall joined the family and friends of Lady Mary Soames at Westminster Abbey for a memorial service for the youngest and last surviving child of wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill.

Former Prime Minister Sir John Major read a passage from the Book of John at the service and said afterwards he had "very fond remembrances" of Lady Soames, who died in May at the age of 91.  Family members, including one of her three sons, the Conservative MP Sir Nicholas Soames, also gave readings.

More than 1,000 people filled the Abbey yesterday to pay tribute including Queen guitarist Brian May and former Conservative Ministers Lord Heseltine and Lord Hurd.

This was also in the DM and Curiously the editors are moderating the comments and only 15 got through. I imagine a lot of negative comments about Soames. Camilla and Charles are buddy buddy with Soames--he had a field day trashing Diana during her lifetime.
