The funeral of the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire took place today.
A large screen was erected outside St Peter's Church, Edensor, so that hundreds could watch the service from the church grounds.
Among the guests were Prince Charles and Camilla along with the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire William Tucker and the Bishop of Derby Dr Alastair Redfern.
Hundreds lined the road leading to the church to watch the concierge go past.
It arrived at the church on time at 11.50, ahead of the noon service.
The Duke and his wife walked behind the coffin, followed by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.
At 1pm the burial took place in the church graveyard.
Joyce Lunn, 76, sang on a number of occasions at church services attended by the Dowager.
Mrs Lunn said: "The Dowager was always very pleased to welcome us here when we sang. She respected everyone whether it was royalty or a layman.
"I wanted to come today because it's a unique occasion. It's unique because she was unique.
"She was a fascinating person. She didn't have any schooling but became a well-respected writer, and she always looked the epitome of an English lady.
"I live in Chesterfield and we were always made to feel welcome at Chatsworth by the Dowager. Local people were always made to feel they could come and be part of it.
"She became so respected and so much part of Chatsworth. If she was feeding the chickens she would still stop and pass the time of day with you.
"She wouldn't pick and choose who she'd talk to. She would chat to anyone.
"Dare I say, Chatsworth will never be the same. She's irreplaceable."
Among those in attendance is Derbyshire Dales MP Patrick McLoughlin.
Before the service, he wrote in a book of condolence outside the church: "Thank you for what you did for so many people."
Margaret Fuller travelled from Selston with her partner Michael Thresher to attend the funeral.
Ms Fuller said: "Whenever we have a day off we come up to Chatsworth, so we wanted to come today because it's part of its history.
"I met the Dowager 30-40 years ago when she was opening a garden party at Heanor Hospital. I thought she was such a lovely lady, a real lady.
"We are just Joe Public but she made you feel important."
Mr Thresher said: "It's a real privilege to be here. She leaves a massive legacy."
Also in the congregation was the Dowager's former nanny, Liz Turner.
Mrs Turner, 69, said: "I looked after her youngest daughter Sophie in the 1960s and I became very close with the Dowager.
"She was absolutely fantastic to work for. She was kind, generous and had an amazing sense of humour.
"Everyone on the estate adored her. You won't find anyone in the world who has a bad word to say about her. She really was one in a million."
Mrs Turner's daughter Katherine Marland, 41, said she had fond childhood memories of the Dowager.
She said: "When I was little, every year she would have a Christmas party in the house for all the local children.
"It was amazing. She organised magic shows and a Father Christmas. Hundreds went and she made sure everyone got a present.
"It was all her doing. She loved children."
"She was an extraordinary person. She treated everyone the same. What I liked about her was she was one of those people who would never look over her shoulder when you were talking to her. She was very attentive. When you saw her next she would ask you about what you spoke about last time."
Maggie Bristow, treasurer of the Derbyshire Federation of Womens Institute, said: "She was what I call an extraordinary-ordinary woman. She wasn't an ordinary person but she sort of was in the sense she was down to earth and would talk to anyone.
"She showed us round the house one year. I remember there was a mow hair cover on the bed and she even lifted it to show us an ink mark. Not many women would do that.
"She was so gracious, a lovely lady."
Alex Bartram, a volunteer of the organisation Red Socks, which help out at the annual Chatsworth fair, said: "She was just the most beautiful person in every respect.
"She could talk to any of us - and she did.
"She made everyone feel special and that's why there are so many here today.
"I think she would have been overwhelmed by the turnout."What's being said on Twitter:
