Although the church wasn’t as full as many would have predicted, New York bluebloods turned out in force Friday to remember the late Brooke Astor, the 105-year-old widow of Vincent Astor.

Pallbearers were members of the U.S. Marine Corps. The ushers and the speakers held the positions of honor at the funeral, which took place at St. Thomas Church, at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street.

Ushers included New York Public Library president Paul LeClerk and TV talk show host Charlie Rose.
