Ex-PMs join in tributes to Heath
Ex-prime ministers Baroness Thatcher
and Sir John Major were among prominent
politicians paying tribute at the
funeral of Sir Edward Heath.
MPs, peers and other dignitaries were
among 1,600 paying their last respects
at the service in Salisbury Cathedral.
Sir Edward, prime minister from 1970 to
1974, is best remembered for taking the
UK into the European Community (EEC).
In his address, the Bishop of Salisbury
said Sir Edward's "commitment to unity"
ran through his whole life.
