Following the death of the former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, many Britons gathered in Trafalgar Square to celebrate her passing. The gathering had a festive atmosphere, with individuals consuming champagne and singing "'Ding! Dong! The witch is dead!'" Throughout the rally, there was only one minor incident involving the police. Five arrests were made that day, mainly concerning drunkenness. Police worry that an incident might occur during the funeral procession and are trying to plan accordingly. This deep-seated anger stems from Thatcher's harsh attitudes towards unions and working class individuals. Many within the crowd said that they did not wish to dance on Thatcher's grave, but they felt it necessary to show their disapproval of what she represented.
