EASINGTON, ENGLAND - APRIL 17: William Robinson, who worked as a miner at Easington Colliery for 25 years, and Evelyn Loscombe, whose father also worked at the colliery, walk their dogs on April 17, 2013 in Easington, England. Former miners and their families are today holding a commemoration party for the closure of the pit at Easington Colliery; coinciding with the ceremonial funeral for Baroness Thatcher, who took on the mining union during the miners' strike which ultimately led to the closure of the mines and the loss of jobs. Dignitaries from around the world today join Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as the United Kingdom pays tribute to former Prime Minster Baroness Thatcher during a Ceremonial funeral with military honours at St Paul's Cathedral.
