A memorial service for Sir Edward Heath was held this morning at 11.00 in Westminster Abbey, attended by leading politicians such as Prime Minister Tony Blair & former PM Baroness Thatcher, and many Members from the Houses of Parliament opposite. These, and many friends & acquaintances of Sir Edward, filled the Abbey. A moving event, particularly the Adagio from Elgar’s cello concerto (played by Felix Schimdt with the European Union Youth Orchestra) and Lord Hurd’s address.
