AS CURRENT LEADER David Cameron shed tears of farewell for former prime minister Margaret Thatcher today, there were ordinary British citizens outside the London cathedral showing their own emotions.

Some were mournful, others almost joyous at the death of the 87-year-old Conservative.

And they revealed their feelings of love and hate through homemade signs. Here are a few that were spotted across the UK…and one in Russia:
