Her union jack-draped coffin was borne to the cathedral on a gun carriage, with a military guard of honour.
UK prime minister David Cameron has called the funeral a ‘fitting tribute to a great prime minister’.
Four thousand police officers are on duty in central London, with large crowds along the route.
The service began with readings from the King James Bible by Cameron and Lady Thatcher’s granddaughter Amanda, with hymns chosen by the former prime minister.
A gun carriage drawn by six black horses carried Lady Thatcher to St Paul’s, where a congregation of more than 2,300 guests have gathered to pay their final respects.
A white floral arrangement on top of the funeral bore a card reading, ‘Beloved mother, always in our hearts’.
Members of all three services and 16 Chelsea pensioners lined the steps of St Paul’s as Lady Thatcher’s coffin was borne into the cathedral.
