Rob Hall scored his first goal since returning to Oxford with a brilliant equaliser in an ill-tempered draw with struggling Oldham at the Kassam Stadium.

The winger, who re-joined the club over the summer, rifled a 20-yard drive into the top left corner of the goal after 54 minutes to cancel out Cameron Burgess' early opener.
Latics were reduced to 10 men four minutes after Hall's strike when Ousmane Fane fouled Marvin Johnson and was sent off for his second yellow card.
And later, Oxford boss Michael Appleton and a member of Oldham's coaching staff were both sent from the dug-out for remonstrating over a booking.
On-loan Fulham centre-half Burgess fired Oldham in front in the 10th minute.
Keeper Simon Eastwood failed to collect Ollie Banks' free-kick, and the ball ran loose for Burgess to knock into an empty net from five yards.
Almost immediately, Kane Hemmings should have levelled as he slid in to meet Chris Maguire's cross, but diverted the ball over the net from four yards.
Oxford dominated the second half and Connor Ripley saved well from Chris Maguire, Marvin Johnson twice and Chey Dunkley as Latics held out for a point under severe pressure.

The head of world athletics has admitted the sport faces "a crisis" over allegations of doping by Russian competitors.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Speaking to the BBC, Lamine Diack, president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said: "It's a difficult crisis but we will put it behind us by cleaning all this."
In December, a German TV documentary claimed Russian officials systematically accepted payment from athletes to supply banned substances and cover up tests.
In his first broadcast interview since the allegations were made public, Diack said he was "shocked" and "disturbed" when he first heard the claims.
But the 81-year-old Senegalese official insisted allegations that 99% of Russian athletes are doping were "a joke" and "ridiculous".
"I cannot accept that somebody came and said in Russia it's 99% cheating. It's not true," he said.
"I understand after this kind of crisis people are saying 'OK, what are they doing, is it right or not?', but I think we have to be absolutely clear that our athletes are 90% to 95% clean."
The allegations include:
German television station WDR broadcast three documentaries alleging that IAAF officials were implicated in covering up doping in Russia.
Those claims are now being examined by the IAAF's ethics commission, which will decide whether Russian anti-doping officials, its own treasurer and even the son of its president are guilty of wrongdoing.
But Diack - who will stand down as IAAF president in August after 16 years as the most powerful figure in track and field - denied knowledge of any cover-up.
"I'm convinced I know my department. I know how they work very, very hard about the fight against doping, and I didn't see any reason to make a cover-up of a doping case," he said.
Athletics has a chequered history of drug scandals, from East Germany's years of state-imposed blanket doping, through to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (Balco) affair. However, it was one of the first sports to introduce the biological passport.
These latest claims of widespread wrongdoing stem principally from former Russian Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada) official Vitaly Stepanov and his wife Yulia (nee Rusanova), formerly an 800m runner who was banned for doping.

Russian athletes were allegedly supplied banned substances in exchange for 5% of their earnings and colluded with doping control officers to hush up and falsify tests.
The BBC has not independently verified the documentary's allegations and is awaiting responses from the athletes, who were approached when it was first broadcast, that were targeted in the programme. The Russian authorities have dismissed the allegations as a "pack of lies".
However, the scandal has threatened to engulf athletics, and Diack must now try to restore the sport's credibility and reputation.
"We face a difficult situation in Russia... we have to clean up what is going on in Russia now," he said.
"OK, in Russia there are some cheaters and if it's demonstrated that cheating is organised we have to take action, not only on the athletes, but on the leaders.
"It's our job to clean all this and take all the measures we have to take.
"It's a crisis, absolutely. We have to put this behind us but we will arrive to make it.
"You cannot leave any doubt about our results. If we come to a situation where people are saying 'what they are doing is not true', what then? So we have to clean."
Out of 37 athletes sanctioned under the IAAF's biological passport programme since 2009, 23 are Russian. In January, Russia's anti-doping agency banned five race-walkers, including three Olympic champions. Russia's athletics head coach Valentin Maslakov has resigned.
The first of the three documentaries made allegations against Massata Papa Diack, the son of president Diack and a marketing consultant for the governing body, and Valentin Balakhnichev, the IAAF treasurer and Russian Athletics Federation president
They stepped down from their posts following a meeting of the IAAF's executive board.
Balakhnichev described the allegations as a "pack of lies" and pledged to return to his post at "the end of the investigation".
Fifty-year-old Papa Massata Diack - one of Diack senior's 15 children - has denied involvement with a company alleged to be complicit in covering up doping, but has admitted to business links with its owner.
The Guardian has also reported that he apparently requested a $5m payment from Qatar during the race for the 2017 World Athletics Championships.
He denies making such a request on behalf of the IAAF and says no payment was ever received.
The Qatar Athletics Federation told The Guardian it did not recognise emails the newspaper referred to and had complied with all regulations.
"A father is not happy to see his son accused of that, but I am sure that he will clear his name", said IAAF president Diack, who rejected suggestions that his son's position raises questions over a conflict of interest.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has also launched an investigation into the claims, in which unnamed British athletes have also been implicated.
WDR alleged the IAAF failed to follow up on suspicious blood tests between 2001 and 2008 from more than 150 athletes, including a top athlete from Britain - who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Diack has dismissed this as "ridiculous", insisting IAAF officials would not know whether follow-up tests had been conducted, and that its athlete biological passport scheme was only launched in 2009.
The IAAF has added that pre-2009 samples were only used as "secondary evidence", or to trigger follow-up urine tests "whenever possible logistically".
Meanwhile, Diack said he has full confidence in the IAAF's ethics commission, chaired by Michael Beloff QC, which is expected to conclude its investigation by spring.
"Absolutely. I selected some wonderful people, that nobody can doubt are absolutely independent," he said.


An 18-year-old woman who died in a two-car crash in the Borders has been described by her family as a "special loving girl".

Lisa Bahmani, from Hawick, was killed and two pensioners injured in the accident on the A68 St Boswells to Jedburgh Road on Wednesday.
Ms Bahmani was driving a Hyundai Getz which collided with a Suzuki Ignis.
The 71-year-old female driver of the Ignis is in a serious but stable condition at Borders General Hospital.
The 78-year-old man is being treated for a chest injury, however, it is not thought to be life-threatening.
Ms Bahmani's family issued a statement saying she was "a much-loved daughter, sister and friend".
It added: "She was a special loving girl who loved animals.
"Lisa will be sorely missed by all who knew her. We are grateful for all the messages of support."
The road near Lilliardsedge Caravan Park was closed for about 10 hours following the accident which happened at about 22:00.
Police Scotland have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
Sgt Neil Inglis said: "Tragically this collision has resulted in the death of a young woman and the driver of the other vehicle remains in a very serious condition in hospital.
"We are continuing with our investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding this collision and would urge any motorists who were on the A68 at around 8pm on Wednesday 13 April to contact us immediately if they witnessed the incident.
"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this inquiry should also get in touch."


Worries are increasing that Spain may become the fourth eurozone country to require a full bailout.

It has already asked for help with its banks - its main problem - and will receive up to 100bn euros ($125bn; Â£80bn) to be targeted at its financial sector.
An audit has now revealed that its banks may need two-thirds of that amount to cover its bad property assets in a worst-case scenario.
But with the recession in the country deepening it is struggling to balance its books and further pressure is coming from its regional governments, who are starting to ask Madrid for financial help to deal with their own debt issues.
What went wrong with Spain?
Spain's story illustrates the fact that the eurozone's problems run far deeper than the issue of excessive borrowing by ill-disciplined governments.
Greece, Portugal and Italy all had way too much debt.
But the Spanish government's borrowing was under control - that is, it ran a balanced budget on average every year until the eve of the 2008 financial crisis.
And as Spain's economy grew rapidly before 2008, its debt-to-GDP ratio was falling. Germany's, by contrast, continued to rise.
After Spain joined the euro, the country experienced a long boom, underpinned by a housing bubble, financed by cheap loans to builders and homebuyers.
House prices rose 44% from 2004 to 2008, at the tail end of a housing boom. Since the bubble burst they have fallen by a third.
The economy, which grew 3.7% per year on average from 1999 to 2007, has shrunk at an annual rate of 1% since then.
So, although the Spanish government still had relatively low debts, it has had to borrow heavily to deal with the effects of the property collapse, the recession and the worst unemployment rate in the eurozone.
What has happened at the regional government level?
Spain's 17 regional governments collectively have large debts of their own.
They run and pay for most of their own services, including social services, health and education, with the central government in Madrid funding less than 20% of national spending.
In the boom years they spent lavishly on new infrastructure and big projects like airports and swimming pools.
Valencia, which built an airport at which not a single plane has landed, has now asked the central government in Madrid for financial aid.
So too has Spain's largest regional economy Catalonia, as well as Murcia and Andalucia.
They are under pressure from the central government to cut spending, but local politicians are reluctant to take unpopular action.
The regions collectively need to refinance 36bn euros in debt this year.
This is intensifying political tensions, too. Catalonia's regional government has called snap elections for 25 November, which are being seen as a referendum on Catalan independence and could also jeopardise plans for national economic reforms.
Not all of them have large debts though, the coal-mining region of Asturias in the north of the country is relatively debt-free. The region of Madrid itself has said it has already covered all its refinancing needs for the year, while Navarra, Galicia, Cantabria, Aragon and the Basque Country all seem to be on a sounder financial footing.
What is the problem with the banks?
It is a familiar tale of high-living in the boom years, followed by an uncomfortable return to reality.
Before the credit crunch, the banks had been thriving thanks to the rapid expansion of the property sector.
But its collapse caused a plunge in the value of the assets the loans were based on, and meant borrowers had trouble making repayments.
The situation has been made worse by the fact that the banks borrowed the money on the international markets to lend to developers and homebuyers, a much riskier strategy than using the deposits they get from savers.
That has left many banks struggling with massive losses. But not all of the banks are in this situation, however. The International Monetary Fund said a large part of the banking sector, including Santander and BBVA, is well run and resilient.
What has been done to help troubled banks?
Spain has begun to restructure its banking sector.
Many of its smaller, weaker banks have had to merge or have been rescued by larger ones. The number of branches has been cut by 15%, and 11% of the jobs in the industry have gone.
Bankia, Spain's fourth-largest bank, has been part-nationalised and billions of euros of public money pumped into it.
Bankia itself was formed when several regional banks, or cajas, were brought together because they were deemed too small to survive the economic downturn.
However, the size of the banks' problems and the weakness of the recession-hit Spanish economy, meant the country had to turn to its fellow eurozone members for help.
Borrowing the funds from the international markets would have cost too much.
Like credit card companies, investors demand higher interest the riskier a prospect they think you are.
How will the bank bailout work?
Spain will be able to borrow up to 100bn euros. But it isn't a bailout or rescue, it insists.
The help it gets will differ from the bailouts given to Greece, Portugal and Ireland in a number of ways.
The loans will come from eurozone funds set up to help members in financial distress: the European Financial Stability Facility and  the European Stability Mechanism.
In previous cases, money has come from international authorities such as the International Monetary Fund, as well as the eurozone.
Also, the money will be targeted specifically at Spain's banks, rather than at the economy as a whole through central government.
Spain was desperate to avoid this, as the sovereign bailouts have previously come with politically unpopular demands to cut spending and raise taxes and close supervision of the countries' finances.
The final figure of how much of the 100bn euros Spain will want to borrow is still unknown.
On 28 September, an independent audit calculated that Spain's banks needed an injection of 59.3bn euros to survive a serious downturn.
Will the bank bailout be enough?
Although Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has long insisted that Spain would not become the fourth eurozone country in recent years to ask for a full bailout, many commentators believe it is now only a matter of time before the government requests one.
The recession in Spain is deepening, and that will make economic recovery even more difficult, as it means the government will receive less in taxes and have to pay more out in benefits.
The government will present details of its latest budget this week, with further austerity and economic reform measures expected.
Those reforms could form the basis of a bailout agreement, with Spain promising to get its economy back on track and severely cut its deficit in exchange for substantial outside help.


Stevenage have signed midfielders Josh Clarke and Charlie Adams from Brentford on one-month youth loans.

Both were named in Boro's matchday squad for their game against Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
Adams, 20, made three appearances for Brentford at the end of last season, following a loan spell at Barnet, as they won promotion to the Championship.
Clarke, 19, also played three games for the Bees last term, the most recent a 4-1 loss to Colchester in April.


A South Africa court has lifted a ban on the domestic trade in rhino horns in a case brought by two game farm breeders.

It overturns a moratorium on the trade imposed by the government in 2009 to address rhino poaching.
One of the breeders, John Hume, blamed a sharp increase in rhino poaching on the ban.
Last year, a record 1,215 rhinos were killed in South Africa, where 80% of the world's rhino population lives.
The court heard that rhino horns sells for $65,000 (Â£43,000) per kg on the Asian black market where it is believed to have medicinal properties.
Mr Hume brought the case along with a colleague Johan Kruger, arguing that it was their constitutional right as breeders to sell rhino horns.
He farms in the area south of the Kruger National Park and is the largest rhino farmer in the world.
He had argued that if the ban was not lifted he would have been forced to dispose of his 1,200-strong herd as it cost him 5m rand ($351; Â£233) a month to preserve it.
In his ruling Judge Francis Legodi said it could not be denied that the ban was linked to a surge in demand.
The lifting of the ban comes ahead of a meeting in Johannesburg next year of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites), which is expected to discuss lifting the global ban.
The government says it has not yet decided whether to appeal the decision.


We bet many of you have played this game in your playground.

Whether you call it tig, tag, you're it! or another name, we've all run around with our friends trying to avoid being caught by the person who is 'on'.
Now, a group called World Chase Tag want to turn the game of tag into an official sport.
They held an event at the end of last year where competitors battled against each other to be crowned tag winners.
Now, the team want to put together a global competition, with tag chases held all around the world.
Newsround spoke to World Chase Tag's founder Christian Devaux to find out more about it...
The idea for it started in Berkshire in our garden. The first obstacles were bins, chairs and an old punch bag.
In a way, tag is one of the oldest sports. Kids all over the world have played it naturally without even being told the rules.
It should be made into a sport because it is very entertaining to watch and you get into the action straight away, unlike a lot of the other more traditional sports.
Chase tag is great for fun and fitness, including agility, strength and overall general fitness. For a lot of sports, you require agility and speed. Chase Tag focuses on those two key qualities.
What's so good about chase tag?
It's popular mainly because it's fun. In countless studies about why people stop playing sport, the number one reason is always because they stop enjoying it.
It's also easy for everyone to play. The court is designed in such a way that tall people go over obstacles and small people can go under them.
In our first event, our youngest competitor - at just 13 years old - was able to go under certain obstacles that his older (taller) competitors had to go over!
It's a sport that everyone can relate to. Chase Tag is one of the few sports that EVERYBODY the world over has played at some point in their lives.
It's also extremely simple. There is one golden rule - don't get caught!
So, will this action-packed version of tag take off as a worldwide official sport? We will have to wait and see if it catches on.
Also, as fun as this looks, please remember that this can be a dangerous sport and the people in the video have had loads of training.


The planned opening date for Bristol's long-awaited arena has slipped again, until 2019.

The delay was revealed by Mayor Marvin Rees in the annual state of the city speech on Thursday evening.
The 12,000-seat venue near Temple Meads was originally due to have been finished by late 2017. A delay until 2018 was announced last year.
Mr Rees said he "intended to deliver" the Â£92.5m arena by 2019, but warned against spiralling costs.
During his annual state of the city speech Mr Rees also said discussions had begun to bring back powerboat racing to the city docks, and he announced plans for a new fleet of buses for the city.


The BBC has been accused of stereotyping Muslims in its new sitcom Citizen Khan.

The broadcaster has received 185 complaints since the first episode aired on BBC One on Monday, with some claiming it was a "tasteless depiction of Islam".
Complaints have risen overnight, but the BBC said it has evidence of a lobbying campaign.
The six-part series follows a Muslim community worker in Birmingham.
It was created by British Muslim, Adil Ray, who also stars in the show.
Other members of the cast include My Family star Kris Marshall as a mosque manager and Shobu Kapoor, who played Gita in EastEnders, as Mrs Khan.
The media watchdog, Ofcom, said it received in the region of 20 complaints about the programme.
One viewer who complained to the BBC said the show "insulted" and "ridiculed" Islam.
"We feel though as if this show has crossed the line and we expected a comedy show but now we have witnessed a mocking show," said the viewer.
Another wrote that the content was "bigoted" and "offensive".
But others, commenting on a BBC messageboard following Monday night's broadcast defended the show.
Referring to a scene in which a teenage daughter hastily changed her attire before her father entered the room, one said: "People are reading too much into Citizen Khan, especially the hijab thing, it happens!"
Comedian Humza Arshad, star of the hit internet comedy Diary of a Badman, told the BBC's Asian Network that he felt some of the jokes went "a bit too far".
"I wasn't offended but I think some other people might be. For example, the scene with the Quran. Personally I'd play it safe. Some people might complain about it - I've got similar feedback myself by the audience, the Muslim community is one of the most sensitive communities out there."
Former Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Yousuf Bhailok, said the show was "the best thing the BBC has done recently".
"It is good to change the stereotyped image of Muslims always being serious and shouting that has appeared so often in the media," he said.
"There is great humour among Muslims. I am glad it has been made."
Independent reviews of the show have been mixed, with the website, Asian Image saying it split opinion.
"Asians will easily identify with the over-emotional Mrs Khan, the daughter who lives a double life and the sensitive Amjad," said reviewer Amjad Malik
"It was stereo-typical because in many respects that is what comedy is about.
"The jokes were a little poor in parts but I sense the criticism is a little unfair."
Arifa Akbar, writing in The Independent, said it wasn't a bad comedy, "it just wasn't new".
"Comedy doesn't have a duty to represent real people, but it does need to be funny, and while a family comedy requires a broad appeal, this is no reason to unspool recycled jokes that worked a treat 40 years ago," said Akbar.
The criticism was echoed in the Daily Star, which added: "The show's weakness isn't so much that it's a niche comedy but the fact that its style feels incredibly dated, like an old-fashioned studio sitcom from 20-odd years back."
Meanwhile, a review in The Guardian described the sitcom as "un-bold" and "safe".
The BBC said the first episode of Citizen Khan was watched by 3.6 million viewers, which it described as a "very positive start".
A spokeswoman said: "We're delighted that so many people enjoyed this new comedy and we have received a number of appreciations from members of the Muslim community and beyond in praise of the show and for creator Adil Ray, who like the family portrayed, is a British Pakistani Muslim.
"Alongside these appreciations, a small percentage of viewers have complained to the BBC regarding the show's portrayal of the Muslim community.
"New comedy always provokes differing reactions from the audience and as with all sitcoms the characters are comic creations and not meant to be representative of the community as a whole," she added.


The father of a young man who suffered severe brain damage after choking on chewing gum says it has been a four-year battle to get him home.

Rhys Thomas, 20, of Holywell, Flintshire, was left disabled after gum became lodged in his windpipe in 2007.
Since then he has been in various hospitals and homes while his family have been trying to get him home.
Health officials have apologised, saying lessons have been learned.
Graham Thomas has described his frustration at the way the family were sent "from pillar to post " as they tried to make arrangements for his son to be looked after at home.
A Â£100,000 extension at the family home, paid for with community support as well as a Â£35,000 grant, is now being used to house Rhys along with specialist carers.
"The system works in a way that it wants you to fail, if you fall at the first hurdle: That's one less person for them to be worried about, and concerned about," says Mr Thomas.
"To anybody who's listening you've got to be determined and not accept 'no' from anybody, and pursue them even if it takes year and years.
"It's not a case of winning or losing, but you can achieve what you set out to achieve."
Mr Thomas says the move was delayed several times and he hopes lessons have been learnt to avoid another family going through a similar ordeal.
In a statement, the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which is funding Rhys's care, has apologised.
The statement said: "The health board is very sorry that despite significant efforts made by Rhys' family, health board staff and other agencies, that it took so long for Rhys to return home.
"Planning Rhys' discharge and home care has been a very lengthy process due to the complexity of his care needs.
"We have also learnt valuable lessons about how to speed up the process in such unique circumstances."
Rhys was 15 when he had been chewing gum before he went to bed.
It became lodged in his windpipe and he suffered a heart attack, thought to have been caused by lack of oxygen.
Mr Thomas said the family were initially told they could bring Rhys home for 24-hour care by  November, but delays were caused by the need to recruit and then train specialist staff.


Hyundai Motor will defer payments due from US federal employees affected by the partial government shutdown.

More than 700,000 employees face unpaid leave due to the shutdown which was triggered after the two houses of Congress did not agree on a new budget.
Hyundai said affected employees who currently own its vehicles will be given a payment relief "for as long as they are out of work".
Employees looking to buy a new car will be given a 90-day payment deferral.
"We recognize the impact on family budgets that the furlough will drive," John Krafcik, chief executive of Hyundai Motor America, said in a statement.
Hyundai had offered a similar scheme, the Hyundai Assurance programme, during the peak of the global financial crisis four years ago to help consumers who had lost their jobs.
Many analysts have said that the move had helped the South Korean firm win customer loyalty and boosted its sales in recent years.
The company said that its latest offer to help the federal employees was an addition to that programme and aimed at "helping workers at a time when they most need it".
"Like we did almost four years ago when we launched Hyundai Assurance, this is our way of saying 'We've got your back' during this uncertain time," Mr Krafcik said.
Under the latest offer, Hyundai will extend all auto loan and lease payments during the shutdown for current Hyundai owners who are put on unpaid leave.
The programme is available to all customers who have financed their purchase or lease through Hyundai Finance America.


Ciara Horne says Great Britain women's pursuit team are going faster than ever, ahead of this weekend's final leg of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

GB are fifth in the World Cup standings after finishing third and eighth in the two previous legs.
The final race in Hong Kong will be the team's last competitive action before March's World Championships in London.
"We're in a really good position at the moment. We've been recording some of our fastest times," said Wales' Horne.
"Personally I'm feeling stronger than ever. I've had some personal bests over short and longer distances so I feel I've got my stamina and speed there.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what I can deliver and how I can help the team."
Horne, 26, was part of the GB team that won bronze in the opening leg of the World Cup series in Colombia in October.
An inexperienced team was sent to the second leg in New Zealand, but GB will be approaching full-strength in Hong Kong where only injured Katie Archibald will be absent.
The qualifying rounds begin on Friday, with the semi-finals and final over the following two days.
"We've got certain things we want to try out in Hong Kong," added Horne, who will be joined by Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell Shand and fellow Welsh riders Elinor Baker and Emily Nelson.
"It's about gaining further experience - it's another great opportunity to get three rides with the girls and keep working on things I need to."
Nelson will be the least experienced squad member, joining the established quartet for the first time.
The 19-year-old raced in the second leg in New Zealand and hopes to make another impression before the World Championships.
"It's the first time I've ridden with the girls and I've felt really included," she said. "It's all very relaxed.
"This weekend is a real opportunity. It's a really good chance to test the waters."


The chimes of Big Ben will be silenced for the duration of Baroness Thatcher's funeral, House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has announced.

He told MPs this would be "an appropriate means of indicating our sentiments" during the occasion.
There was a "profound dignity through silence," Mr Bercow added.
The silence will last throughout events on Wednesday, covering the procession from Westminster and the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral.
The chiming of Big Ben, the name often used to describe the Great Bell, the Great Clock and the Elizabeth Tower - clock tower - in the Palace of Westminster, is one of London's most famous sounds.
It has not been silenced as a mark of respect since the funeral of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1965, although it was out of action for repairs for a period during the 1970s.
In a statement to the Commons, Mr Bercow said he had received "direct and indirect representations" over the best way for Parliament to mark the funeral of Lady Thatcher, who died last week aged 87.
He added: "I've considered all of these, but I concluded that the most appropriate means of indicating our sentiments would be for the chimes of Big Ben and the chimes of the Great Clock to be silenced for the duration of the funeral proceedings."
Mr Bercow also said: "I believe there can be a profound dignity and deep respect expressed through silence."
Responding for the government, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said it was a "very dignified and respectful gesture on behalf of Parliament".
"As you know, Lady Thatcher held Parliament in very great reverence in her time both in this House and in the Lords," he said."
Lady Thatcher's children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, said they appreciated the "great honour".
The former prime minister has been accorded a ceremonial funeral with military honours, one step down from a state funeral.
A military rehearsal of the procession took place in central London during the early hours of Monday morning.
On Wednesday, Lady Thatcher's coffin will travel by hearse from the Palace of Westminster to the Church of St Clement Danes - the Central Church of the RAF - on the Strand.
It will then be transferred to the gun carriage and taken in procession to St Paul's Cathedral.


Thousands of refugees fleeing conflict in Mali are enduring "appalling" conditions in a UN-run camp in Mauritania, a medical charity warns.

Conditions are so bad that healthy people are getting ill after they arrive, said Medecins Sans Frontieres.
There is only one toilet for every 3,000 residents and new arrivals having to build their own shelters, it said.
The UN said it was taking the allegations seriously, but questioned some of the findings in the report.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR, which oversees the camp, said some of the facts "seem to be out of date and do not reflect current realities" - pointing out that there are now more than 2,500 latrines, approximately one for every 30 refugees.
Some 70,000 refugees now live at the Mbera camp in a remote part of Mauritania, MSF said, put off from returning home by enduring ethnic tensions in northern Mali.
"More than 100,000 people  from northern Mali are currently displaced within their country or have escaped abroad as refugees," said Henry Gray, emergency co-ordinator for MSF.
"Most of the refugees are from the Tuareg and Arab communities. They fled pre-emptively, often for fear of violence due to their presumed links with Islamist or separatist groups. Their home in northern Mali is still in the grip of fear and mistrust."
The situation at the camp has worsened, MSF said, since France led a military intervention in Mali in January.
The MSF report, Stranded in the Desert, is based on testimony from more than 100 residents of the Mbera camp.
Refugees are receiving only 11 litres (2.9 gallons) of water a day in 50C (122F) heat, and there is a desperate shortage of toilets, though acknowledged more are now being built.
An MSF study at the camp last November revealed a critical nutrition situation, with mortality rates above the emergency threshold for children under two years old.
And conditions have worsened since the French intervention in Mali prompted a fresh wave of 15,000 refugees.
New arrivals are having to wait more than a month to receive housing materials, and are having to build makeshift shelters from sticks and scraps of cloth.
"The number of consultations in MSF's clinics in the Mbera camp has increased from 1,500 to 2,500 per week," MSF said.
"The number of children admitted per week for severe malnutrition has more than doubled, from 42 to 106, despite the nutritional status of the new refugees being generally good when assessed on arrival in the camp."
MSF said the situation had improved in recent weeks.
But it is urgently calling on the UNHCR and aid organisations operating inside the camp to redouble their efforts to provide shelter, clean water, latrines, and food at minimum humanitarian standards.
The fear is that unless conditions in the camp improve significantly, the refugees - most of whom are nomads - will abandon it, but will be unable to return home due to the ongoing conflict, says the BBC's Africa analyst Mary Harper.
The UNHCR said it was studying the report in detail.
"The issue of malnutrition in Mbera camp is a major concern and has been for some time... We take the allegations in the report seriously," said UNHCR spokesman Dan McNorton.
"However, some of the facts contained do now seem to be out of date and do not reflect current realities."
He said that as well as the increase in toilets at the camp, there are also more than 570 water points and more than 1,500 showers.
The agencies operating in the camp have "already taken measures to improve the overall hygiene" and "additional efforts have been in place since the beginning of the year to treat malnutrition issues responding to this critical situation," he added.


Public sector workers in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires have been told not to come to work on Monday in an effort to save electricity.

The city has been experiencing power shortages as air conditioning use has soared as residents try to keep cool during a severe heatwave.
Some neighbourhoods have been without power for two weeks, with temperatures rising well over 35 degrees Celsius.
Argentina's ageing power grid has been struggling to keep up with demand.
Public sector workers in the city were asked to stay at home all day Monday, while those in Buenos Aires province were told to leave work at noon.
On Sunday night, electricity demand reached a record high for a non-working day, as residents turned on fans and air conditioning units in an attempt to cool down homes.
City officials held emergency meetings with federal officials on Sunday in an effort to co-ordinate assistance to those left without power for days.
An estimated 11.000 people still had no electricity over the weekend. Hundreds of thousands had suffered power cuts over the preceding weeks.
In some Buenos Aires neighbourhoods residents took to the streets in protest, banging pots and pans to demand that city officials do more to restore power supply to their areas.
The heatwave is reported to be the worst to hit the city in 40 years.


Nigeria hosting South Africa in Group E is the standout fixture as 47 countries begin the group stage of qualifying for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Another big clash this weekend is the north African clash between Tunisia and Egypt in Group J.
The 12 group winners will qualify along with the best three runners-up will join hosts Cameroon in the finals.
South Africa are looking for a first win ever win in a competitive match over Nigeria, there have been six wins for the Super Eagles and three draws since 1992.
The Super Eagles are aiming to qualify for the Nations Cup finals for the first time since winning the title in 2013.
"We do not want to forget that South Africa partly contributed to us not  going to the 2015 Cup of Nations," said Nigeria's stand-in captain Ogenyi Onazi.
"This time, we must restore our pride and make sure we get the three points  off them on Saturday.
"Nigerians do not forgive losers easily and it is our responsibility to  make the country proud whenever we are in action."
Defender Thulani Hlatshwayo, who plays South African champions Wits, was named Bafana Bafana captain this week by new coach Stuart Baxter.
"It will be a baptism of fire as captain, but we have come close to beating them in our last two meetings and I think they are there for the taking this time," he insisted.
"I believe we have now  overcome that psychological barrier of not having beaten them in an official match.
"This will be a grudge match. We denied them a place at the 2015 Cup of  Nations and they will be out for revenge, which might work to our advantage."
Nigeria's German coach Gernot Rohr cautioned against over-optimism after he lead the Super Eagles to 2018 World Cup qualifying wins over Zambia and Algeria.
"Our team is young and the future looks bright, but there is still  considerable work to do," he said.
Baxter begins a second stint in charge of "Bafana Bafana" in a confident mood despite the loss through injury of key midfielder Hlompho Kekana.
"We are capable of hurting Nigeria. We want to be a big nuisance to them - to be their worst nightmare," the Englishman insisted.
Tunisia host seven-time African champions and 2017 runners-up Egypt in the final tie of the weekend on Sunday evening.
Al Ahly and Zamalek dominate the Egypt squad with 14 of the 25 players, but Argentine coach Hector Cuper can also rely on several Europe-based 'Pharaohs'.
Mohamed Salah was a consistent scorer in Italy for Roma last season.
Ivory Coast will dedicate a Group H clash with Guinea in Bouake to the  memory of 2015 Nations Cup winner Cheick Tiote, who died in China this week.
New Elephants' coach Marc Wilmots had a nightmare debut last Sunday with a 5-0 friendly drubbing by the Netherlands - a record Ivorian loss in their 57-year history.
Although guaranteed a place at the 2019 finals as hosts, title-holders Cameroon play in Group B and host Morocco in Yaounde.
Points won by Cameroon's opponents in the qualifying will count towards their final totals in the group.
Another nation with a new captain is Zimbabwe as Knowledge Musona leads a new-look Warriors side against visiting Liberia in Sunday's Group B match.
The Belgium-based striker takes over from Willard Katsande, who was skipper at the Nations Cup finals in Gabon earlier this year.
Former captain Norman Mapeza is Zimbabe's interim coach and he has not selected many of the players who featured in Gabon.
"It's not a bad team, I've played with most of the guys," Musona insisted.
"It would be something else to lead the team to qualify.
"It's a tough group but you never know in African football, and we need to make a good start and apply our tactics and play our game and work hard as a team.
Zimbabwe are in Group B with Liberia, DR Congo and Congo-Brazzaville, and are targeting a fourth appearance at the Nations Cup finals.


Barnsley have signed defender Matty Pearson from Accrington Stanley on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The deal for Pearson, 24, who scored nine goals in 51 appearances in all competitions last season, is a record for an Accrington sale.
The versatile defender is Barnsley's 11th summer signing ahead of their Championship season-opener on Saturday.
"Matty has some exceptional qualities that we feel we can work with and make better," boss Paul Heckingbottom said.
Pearson began his career with Blackburn Rovers and played for Rochdale and Halifax Town before joining Stanley in May 2015, going on to make 103 appearances.
Barnsley begin their Championship campaign at Bristol City on Saturday.

A search for survivors is continuing at a building which collapsed in a suburb of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, killing at least 200 people.

Rescue workers are working with volunteers to free survivors trapped inside the remains of the building.
Tens of thousands of weeping family members have gathered at the site.
Police said the factory owners had ignored warnings not to allow their workers into the building after cracks were noticed on Tuesday.
The High Court has summoned the Rana Plaza building owner and senior management staff of the factories to appear before judges on 30 April, local media report.
The factory owners are said to have gone into hiding.
Police earlier confirmed that cases had been filed against the building owner and the owners of the factories for causing unlawful death.
The exact number of those trapped is not clear, but accounts from survivors and eyewitnesses suggest there may be hundreds still unaccounted for.
The disaster has prompted questions over Bangladesh's chronically poor safety standards.
Bangladesh has one of the largest garment industries in the world, providing cheap clothing for major Western retailers which benefit from its widespread low-cost labour.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced a national day of mourning on Thursday in memory of the victims.
Thousands of garment workers in other areas of Dhaka have taken to the streets and blocked roads to protest at the deaths of the workers in Savar.
Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper reported that protesters had clashed with police, resulting in some injuries.
Some 2,000 people were in the Rana Plaza building in Savar, some 30km (20 miles) outside Dhaka, when it collapsed suddenly on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters and soldiers joined volunteers in the effort to locate survivors in the mangled wreckage of concrete and steel.
They have been using heavy machinery and their bare hands to free survivors.
Rescue work is proceeding slowly so as not to set off a second collapse, officials say.
Trapped workers can be heard inside the rubble, screaming for help. Food and water is being passed to survivors through gaps in the the rubble.
Lengths of textile that were earlier being cut into garments - many destined for Western consumers - were now being used as makeshift slides to evacuate survivors and corpses.
Mosammat Khursida told the Associated Press (AP) news agency she was looking for her husband.
"He came to work in the morning. I can't find him," she said. "I don't know where he is. He does not pick up his phone."
Lines of relatives filed by numbered bodies of victims, looking for their family members.
"Save us brother. I beg you brother. I want to live... It's so painful here ... I have two little children," Mohammad Altab, a garment worker trapped in the building told rescuers, according to AP.
Only the ground floor of the building remained intact, officials said.
"The whole building collapsed like a pancake within minutes. Most workers did not have any chance to escape," national fire department chief Ahmed Ali told AFP news agency.
Local hospitals were overwhelmed with the arrival of more than 1,000 injured people.
Speaking at the scene, Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir said the building had violated construction codes and "the culprits would be punished".
There are reports that the building owner had illegally added three extra stories to the building.
In November, a fire at a garment factory in the Dhaka suburb of Tazreen drew international attention to working conditions in Bangladesh's textile industry.
Primark, a clothes retailer with a large presence in Britain, confirmed that one of its suppliers was on the second floor of the Rana Plaza.
It said it was "shocked and deeply saddened by the appalling incident" and that it would work with other retailers to review standards.
Discount giant Wal-Mart - which was found to be sourcing products from the Tazreen factory - said it was still trying to establish whether its goods were being produced at the Rana Plaza.
"We remain committed and are actively engaged in promoting stronger safety measures, and that work continues,'' said Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner.
A company called New Wave, with two factories in the building, supplies firms from around Europe, the US and Canada.
Meanwhile, Spanish retailer Mango said it had not been using any of the suppliers in the building but had been in talks with one of them to produce a batch of test products.
Edward Hertzman, a textiles broker based in New York, told Reuters news agency that pressure from US retailers to keep costs down was in part responsible for unsafe conditions.
"Bangladesh is the longest lead-time country and a difficult country to work in, so the only way it becomes competitive is by offering the lowest [cost]. That's the catch-22," he said.
"If the factories want to raise prices to make up for rising wages and costs, the buyers say: 'Oh why do we want to go to Bangladesh if I could go to China, Pakistan, Cambodia etc for a similar price?"
He said if Western companies really wanted safety standards to improve, they would have to accept that they needed to start paying higher prices.


Schoolchildren in Kenya will be barred from entering examination rooms with clipboards and geometry set boxes in a bid to curb cheating, the education ministry has said.

The directive also bans the use of mobile phones near examination centres.
Cheating cases in secondary schools rose by up to 70% last year, leading to arrests and the cancellation of results for 5,000 students.
More than 1.5 million children will start writing examinations next week.
The BBC's Dickens Olewe says many children use clipboards as a flat base for writing on as desks are often uneven.
But the ministry believes that some pupils cheat by writing notes on them to help them answer questions.
It also says geometry instruments will now have to be carried in a "clear see-through bag".
In July, Education Minister Fred Matiang'i blamed "cheats" for being behind a wave of arson attacks - more than 100 secondary schools were burnt down by pupils.
He said that students who were angry with the government's plans to end cheating were behind the attacks.
Mr Matiang'i has blamed a "cartel", including teachers, for being behind exam cheating.
Earlier this year, the national examinations board was disbanded, some senior managers fired and nearly 200 people, including teachers and police officers, were arrested and charged over exam malpractices.
A education ministry statement says the new rules will "seal loopholes that have previously enabled students to cheat".
Other measure that have been introduced to clamp down on cheating include putting head teachers in charge of exam administration at their schools, "to make them accountable".
Examination papers are being stored at several central locations under 24-hour armed police surveillance where access will be limited to prevent "leakage".
According to Kenya's private Daily Nation newspaper, a total of 577,338 children at primary schools and 952,473 students at secondary schools will be writing examinations from 1 November for about a month.
Only teachers and students involved in examinations are to be allowed on school premises during that time, the education ministry said.


Swansea's Premier League safety could be confirmed on Sunday after goals from Fernando Llorente and Kyle Naughton gave them a deserved win over relegated Sunderland.

An afternoon that had the potential to be a nervous one for the Swans became very comfortable once Llorente headed home Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick in the ninth minute.
Naughton struck a decisive blow in first-half stoppage time with his first Swans goal - a superb angled drive into the far top corner.
Victory opened a four-point gap between the Welsh side and 18th-placed Hull, who will be relegated to the Championship if they lose at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Sunderland, who beat Hull last weekend, were booed off at both half-time and the final whistle of an inept display that epitomised their season.
As Swansea manager Paul Clement pointed out this week, it seems perverse for a side to celebrate narrowly avoiding relegation.
However, having had three managers in the space of a season in which they were bottom at halfway with only 12 points, it was understandable why the Swans so enjoyed taking a huge stride towards safety.
And celebrate they did at the final whistle of a completely one-sided encounter they never looked like losing from the moment the familiar link-up between Sigurdsson and Llorente put them in front.
Sigurdsson now has 13 assists for the season, while Llorente has 14 goals and has scored in each of the three victories Swansea have recorded during a timely unbeaten run of four matches.
Also timely was full-back Naughton's first goal for the Swans in more than 60 appearances. His angled drive - set up by a neat pass from former Black Cats loan player Ki Sung-yueng - ensured there would be no late nerves.
It is now up to Hull to respond, otherwise Clement can lead his side into their final fixture at home to West Brom safe in the knowledge he will have a summer to prepare the Swans for a sixth successive top-flight campaign.
Sunderland's defeat by Bournemouth two weeks ago confirmed the end of their 10-season stay in the Premier League.
But two vastly contrasting displays since mean the Black Cats have provided a potentially decisive parting shot in the battle to avoid joining them in the Championship.
At the KCOM Stadium last weekend, they showed enough in a 2-0 victory to give some hope that, with some strategic planning and rebuilding, they could bounce straight back to the top flight.
But Saturday's heartless display, played out in front of a half-empty stadium that was almost devoid of home fans by full-time, laid bare just how much work they have to do.
Any promotion effort next season looks unlikely to feature striker Jermain Defoe, who has scored 15 times this campaign but has a relegation release clause in his contract and appeared to be saying goodbye during a solo lap of the ground at full-time.
Manager David Moyes has suggested he will continue in his role, but the home fans aimed negative chants in his direction during this game.
The Black Cats end their home campaign having earned just 14 points - the fewest in the division - and with a run of 10 games without victory, seven of which they failed to score in.
'It is not done yet' - what the managers said
Media playback is not supported on this device
Sunderland boss David Moyes, speaking to BBC Sport: "Everyone watching can see we need big changes. We need to alter the playing staff and I think everyone is aware of that.
"Jordan Pickford has been fantastic for us but he should never have got involved in the free-kick and we found it hard chasing the game.
"We lost two players through injury which didn't help. We changed it at half-time but ultimately we needed to impose ourselves on Swansea. The first goal was the turning point."
Swansea boss Paul Clement, speaking to BBC Sport: "It's a huge result for us. We've got ourselves into a strong position but the season is not over and we don't think it is done. Now have to look to next week.

"There's still one game to go. We'll be looking at the Crystal Palace-Hull game with a lot of interest but we can be happy with our work today.
"It was a bit of a messy second half but we got the job done."
On Kyle Naughton's goal: "A lot of those go in our car park at the training ground. That goal was a great moment."
Sunderland have two games to go before they relinquish their Premier League status. They may well wish they did not as they travel to Arsenal on Tuesday (19:45 BST) before a final-day game at champions Chelsea (15:00 BST).
Swansea's immediate focus will be on Hull's game at Palace on Sunday (12:00 BST). The Swans' final game is at home to West Brom (15:00 BST).

Jeremy Corbyn has warned there could be a "bonfire" of workers' rights if the UK votes to leave the EU in June.

The Labour leader claimed the Conservatives would "dump" equal pay, annual leave and maternity pay rights.
And he did not think "too many people" had come to the UK from inside the EU.
David Cameron said they disagreed on "lots of things" but welcomed Mr Corbyn's backing for EU membership - as Leave campaigners said the Labour leader "does not really mean it".
Making his first major speech of the referendum campaign, Mr Corbyn stood by past criticisms of the EU but said Britain had to remain in to fight for social reform.
In quotes: Jeremy Corbyn on the EU and referendum
Reality Check: Is Labour overwhelmingly supporting EU?
Reality Check: How many Brits live in the rest of the EU?
EU for beginners: A guide
UK and the EU: Better off out or in?
Who's who: The Vote Leave team
Who's who: The Remain campaign
He set out an alternative, "socialist" vision for Britain in Europe to the one being promoted by Mr Cameron, who will need the support of Labour voters to win 23 June's referendum.
He called for an EU minimum wage to prevent "unscrupulous" employers from undercutting wages, and said: "Just imagine what the Tories would do to workers' rights here in Britain if we voted to leave the EU in June.
"They'd dump rights on equal pay, working time, annual leave, for agency workers, and on maternity pay as fast as they could get away with it. It would be a bonfire of rights that Labour governments secured within the EU.
"Not only that, it wouldn't be a Labour government negotiating a better settlement for working people with the EU. It would be a Tory government, quite possibly led by Boris Johnson and backed by Nigel Farage, that would negotiate the worst of all worlds: a free market free-for-all shorn of rights and protections."
Asked about concerns over high levels of immigration, he said: "There is nothing wrong with people migrating to work across the continent but there has to be a level playing field on pay and conditions.  What we have is unscrupulous employers doing that."
He said a Labour government would have done more at an EU level to save the British steel industry by backing European Commission proposals to impose import tariffs on Chinese steel imports.
And he backed EU action on tax avoidance, accusing the Leave campaign of wanting to make Britain "the safe haven of choice for the ill-gotten gains of every dodgy oligarch, dictator or rogue corporation".
Mr Corbyn addressed his previous Euroscepticism, saying: "Over the years I have been critical of many decisions taken by the EU, and I remain critical of its shortcomings; from its lack of democratic accountability to the institutional pressure to deregulate or privatise public services.
"So Europe needs to change. But that change can only come from working with our allies in the EU. It's perfectly possible to be critical and still be convinced we need to remain a member."
David Cameron, manning the phones with former Labour leader Lord Kinnock and former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown at remain campaign headquarters, said: "I absolutely welcome Jeremy Corbyn's intervention.
"There are lots of things we disagree about, between Labour, Liberals, Greens and others, but the fact is we all come together to support the idea of Britain staying in a reformed European Union."
But Labour MP Kate Hoey, who is campaigning for an out vote, said many Labour voters shared her view and would "see through" Mr Corbyn's speech.
"We know first of all, that he doesn't really mean it, no matter how much he tries to pretend he does, and secondly, that it is not in the interest of the Labour movement," she told the BBC News channel.
UKIP said Mr Corbyn's stance on immigration made him an "outlier" within his own party, when other senior figures such as Andy Burnham recognised the need for tighter controls, and it showed he had no understanding of how "uncontrolled" mass immigration from the EU had "crushed the aspirations of so many of our people".
So far spats in the Conservative Party have dominated the conversations around our place in Europe. Labour might have lost the last election, but many of its nine million voters will look to the party for its position on the European Union.
And even though Mr Corbyn's support felt rather grudging, few of the high-profile figures are backing the institution with much affection.
Staying in is presented as the pragmatic, safer choice, rather than a source of pride and inspiration. He is not exactly alone in supporting the Remain campaign through slightly gritted teeth.

In his speech, Mr Corbyn argued that there was "a strong socialist case for staying in the European Union, just as there is also a powerful socialist case for reform and progressive change in Europe".
Asked why he had been converted to the EU cause, after speaking against it so many times in the past and voting to come out in the 1975 referendum, he said the Labour Party and trade unions had "overwhelmingly" decided to back EU membership "and that's the party I lead and that's the position I am putting forward".
But he said there was "nothing half-hearted" about Labour's campaign and said he would continue to make the case for membership in the run up to polling day.
Mr Corbyn told the audience of Labour supporters: "You cannot build a better world unless you engage with the world, build allies and deliver change. The EU, warts and all, has proved itself to be a crucial international framework to do that.
"That is why I will be am backing Britain to remain in Europe and I hope you will too."
The Labour leader was heckled by a Conservative voter during his speech. Stephen Wolstenholme, who was filming the event for his YouTube channel, interrupted Mr Corbyn to claim environmental regulations could be improved on a UK level.
After the speech, Mr Wolstenholme said he was a supporter of the Labour Out campaign and wanted to see Mr Corbyn give a "Tony Benn-style left wing case for coming out".
Ahead of the EU referendum campaign's official beginning on Friday, Vote Leave and Britain Stronger in Europe have been designated as the official Leave and Remain campaigns by the Electoral Commission.
Meanwhile, Leave.EU - a supporter of pro-exit group Grassroots Out which lost out to Vote Leave - announced it did not plan to launch a judicial review of the Commission's decision.


Deaf people in Bristol who are upset because they had to sell their social club building have started a campaign for a new one.

The Centre for Deaf People, a charity, sold its premises to pay off a pension deficit.
Trustee Sandra Smith said deaf people in Bristol "needed a new base".
Plans for the new centre include recruiting a fundraiser, a book keeper and setting up a website.
The original centre was established in 1962 and became a focal meeting point for Bristol's deaf community - complete with its own skittle alley.
Ms Smith said: "We do need a new base, where people know that they can come and meet - especially for young people".
She added it was not just about "alleviating the loneliness" but about somewhere people could go who "were all the same".
Six years ago the charity ran into difficulties when they had their core funding cut by the council.
Former trustees and management, who are no longer involved in the charity, said they were "devastated to hear about the closure of the centre".


More than a quarter of million visitors are expected to head for the beach in Cardiff Bay this summer.

Roald Dahl Plass near the Millennium Centre will be transformed into an urban beach until 5 September.
An estimated 300 tonnes of sand will be used to create the attraction, which will also have fairground rides and live entertainment.
The beach is part of the summer-long Cardiff Festival.
Norman George Sayers, of organisers Sayers Amusements, said: "The beach has been so popular since we set it up two summers ago.
"We've made some changes to last year's format and visitors can look forward to bringing their children down to a fun-filled, safe environment."


Scarlets have confirmed Wayne Pivac will take over as head coach from Simon Easterby who has been appointed Ireland forwards coach.

Pivac joined the Scarlets as assistant coach in July before Easterby announced his decision to move.
He takes over the head coach role with immediate effect, though former Ireland international Easterby will remain at the Scarlets until October.
"Joining the Scarlets was an exciting challenge for me," said Pivac.
"I am honoured that the Scarlets have the faith and belief in me to take the squad forward and build on the good work and solid foundations that Simon and his team have put in place."
Former Auckland coach Pivac said Easterby played a key role in his recruitment and he was also influenced by Llanelli's famous 9-3 win over the All Blacks in the 1970s.
"There were two factors why I chose Scarlets, the fact that Simon Easterby jumped on a plane and came to New Zealand rather than a lot of talks going on for a long period of time.
"[And] As a young boy growing up listening to the All Blacks play Llanelli in 1972 on the radio back home, I've never forgotten that moment.
"Knowing the Scarlets has a proud history, like the union I've come from, was important to me and coming to an area where they live and breathe rugby like home."
In addition to his role at Auckland, New Zealander Pivac coached Fiji to the Pacific Tri-Nations and was also coach of the side which won the 2005 Rugby World Cup Sevens.


An aide to a Kent Conservative MP has appeared before Westminster magistrates charged with rape following an alleged attack at the Houses of Parliament.

Samuel Armstrong, 23, of Copt Hill, Danbury, Essex, is charged with two counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
He has been suspended from his position as chief of staff to South Thanet's Tory MP Craig Mackinlay.
The charge follows an alleged incident at Parliament in October.
Mr Armstrong was bailed to appear before Southwark Crown Court on 28 April.
He was ordered not to enter the Palace of Westminster and not to contact the alleged victim.


Anti-government rebels and Russia have both reported breaches of the fragile truce in Syria - now in its second day.

Russian planes have attacked several sites in northern Syria, activists say.
Russia has not confirmed any sorties on Sunday and says it has also identified nine breaches of the truce.
A cessation of hostilities was agreed as part of a US-Russian plan. Russia says that in general it is holding. It is the first major cessation of hostilities in the five years of war.
More than 250,000 have been killed in the fight against President Bashar al-Assad.
Millions more have been forced from their homes. Humanitarian agencies are hoping use the truce to deliver aid to besieged areas of the country.

The Syrian opposition has complained of 15 violations of the ceasefire by the government side, which is supported by Russia.
The Syrian opposition umbrella group the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said it would be sending a formal letter of complaint about the breaches to the UN and other world powers.
However, the HNC said that despite violations "here and there", it was "positive to see people getting relief â€¦to be safe, and free from fear".
Some Syrian activists say the target of the air strikes in the north, near Aleppo, was the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.
The truce involves Syrian government and rebel forces, but not the so-called Islamic State group (IS) or the Nusra Front, so an attack on them would not count as a breach.
But the villages also contain fighters from the Western-backed opposition as territorial control in Syria is often blurred, reports the BBC's Mark Lowen from the Turkish border.
Given the terms of this ceasefire deal, it is conceivable that the rebels were targeted under cover of striking the Nusra Front, he adds.
The HNC said two of the strikes were in areas where designated terrorist groups were not operating.
Meanwhile, among the breaches reported by the Russian military was what it described as a "cross-border" attack from Turkey near Tal Abyad. Russia has asked the US to investigate.
The US military told the BBC that it had continued to attack IS targets in Syria on Saturday, including 10 air strikes near Tal Abyad.
The "cessation of hostilities" began at midnight on Saturday (22:00 GMT Friday).
The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov and the US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone on Saturday welcoming the ceasefire and, Moscow says, discussing ways of supporting it through military co-operation.
UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has said that peace talks will resume on 7 March if the truce "largely holds", adding that he had no doubt there would be "no shortage of attempts to undermine this process".
The cessation was brokered by the US and Russia, and is backed by a UN resolution. Previous talks in Geneva collapsed in early February after making no progress.
The UN resolution names about 30 areas in dire need of aid, including eastern and western rural Aleppo and the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, which is under siege by IS.
Almost 100 rebel factions have agreed to respect the truce, the HNC says.
However, the HNC warned the Syrian government and its allies not to use the "proposed text to continue the hostile operations against the opposition factions under the excuse of fighting terrorism".
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his forces are targeting IS, Nusra Front and other extremist groups designated as legitimate targets by the UN Security Council.
However, over the course of its campaign in Syria, Russia has been widely accused of also attacking more moderate rebel groups fighting President Bashar al-Assad, an ally of the Kremlin.
The battle for Syria and Iraq in maps
Syria's civil war explained
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that four years on has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran have pro-Assad forces on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.


Opposition leaders in Venezuela have staged a general strike to push for a referendum on removing President Nicolas Maduro from power.

Many shops, businesses and schools stayed closed on Friday and public transport was quieter than usual.
But adherence to the strike was patchy and poorer areas largely ignored it.
Mr Maduro, who had warned companies they risked being seized if they joined the strike, said the walkout had failed.
Speaking to crowds of supporters, he said the oil industry had ignored the strike, as had basic industries, banks, schools and transport.
What's behind Venezuela's turmoil?
Mr Maduro also announced measures to offset economic hardship - mostly caused by plummeting oil prices - by promising to implement a 40% rise of the minimum wage. It was the fourth increment this year.
The move has been dismissed by analysts as insignificant when the country faces spiralling inflation.
The centre-right opposition coalition is also angry over a decision to block a referendum on removing Mr Maduro from power in the oil-rich South American country.
The coalition won a majority in the National Assembly last December and staged huge anti-government protests earlier this week.
The mass demonstrations came after a recall referendum process - an attempt to remove Mr Maduro from power - was suspended.
Opposition activists had gathered about 1.8 million signatures petitioning for the referendum, 400,000 of which were validated by electoral authorities.
But the process was halted last week after officials said the signature collection process had been marred by fraud.
Parliament voted on Tuesday to open a trial against Mr Maduro, whom MPs accuse of violating the constitution.
He called it a "political trial" and said anyone who violated the constitution by launching it should be jailed.
Mr Maduro, a former bus driver and union leader, is blamed by the opposition for Venezuela's dire economic situation and widespread food shortages.
In turn, he has accused the opposition of having links to foreign states, the US in particular, and of seeking to overthrow him to "lay their hands on Venezuela's oil riches".
Under Venezuela's constitution, a recall referendum can be held once a president has served half of his term in office and the requisite steps are met.
So far, the opposition has only completed the first step of the process.


Almost 1500 workers employed by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust have not received their full pay this month.

Those affected are missing additional pay for working unsocial hours. The trust said all staff had received their basic pay.
It said the error was due to a software problem in a payroll feeder system.
SDLP councillor Nichola Mallon said some people had been underpaid between Â£200 and Â£300 in October.
She said there had been a number of errors since the "multi-million pound" system for payments was introduced in 2013.
"Between October 2013 when it was first introduced, and May 2014, in the Belfast Trust alone they had to make 3,002 additional corrections to pay," she said.
"People have had wrong National Insurance contributions deducted, many of them were awarded tax rebates that were subsequently taken back off them.
"You fast forward two years and here we are again.
"We need to have a serious look at this problem.
"The staff who are affected are those working the most unsociable and stressful hours on the front line, being underpaid, now they are having to chase up to get what is entitled to them."
The trust said staff would receive their outstanding payments on Tuesday.
It said it would engage with the system providers to investigate what had happened to ensure there was no repeat in the November payroll.
"We would encourage staff to contact their line management if they have any concerns," it added.


Revelations from the Panama Papers show how a company based in Jersey, a British crown dependency, attempted to avoid paying $400m (Â£280m) in Capital Gains Tax to the Ugandan government, writes BBC Africa's Rob Wilson.

In 2010, Heritage Oil and Gas Ltd realised it would be hit with a huge tax bill and started making efforts to avoid it by moving the country where the company was registered from the Bahamas to Mauritius, leaked emails obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and shared with the BBC show.
Mauritius has a double-tax agreement with Uganda, which in principle means companies pay tax in only one of the two countries.
Since Mauritius does not impose any Capital Gains Tax, charged on the sale of assets, this would mean Heritage reduces its bill to zero.
One of the emails written by an accountant acting on behalf of Heritage said the move to Mauritius would act as a "second line of defence" in efforts to "eliminate the potential tax charge imposed by the Ugandan authorities".
Elsewhere, he was more precise: "We are looking to re-domicile Heritage Oil and Gas Ltd. [HOGL]  to Mauritius (primarily due to the double tax agreement between Uganda and Mauritius). HOGLâ€¦ is due to complete the sale of an asset in Uganda within the next 11 days.
"Due to tax reasons emanating from Uganda, the directors have been advised by tax accountants to re-domicile HOGL to Mauritius from the Bahamas before completion."
In the paper trail, the Panama-based law firm at the centre of the massive data leak, Mossack Fonseca, is named as the registered agent of Heritage, whose founder Tony Buckingham is, according to the London-based Guardian newspaper, a donor of UK Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party.
The legal services head of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), Patience Tumusiime Rubagumya, told the BBC that the "re-domiciliation of Heritage had tax avoidance manoeuvres written all over it".
But the leaked email trail is the first direct insight into the thinking of the oil company's managers and those acting on their behalf.
"The leaks, if true, only go to validate the position taken by URA as far back as January 2010," Ms Rubagumya added.
Heritage did not respond to the BBC's request for comment, but told the The Guardian that "it is a fact that the process of re-domiciling one of Heritage Oil's subsidiaries from the Bahamas to Mauritius had begun long before the completion of the transaction that ultimately gave rise to the tax dispute with the Ugandan government. The process of re-domiciling was commenced for a variety of reasons."
'Aggressive'
The dispute over the $400m tax bill has been dragging on since 2010 in a lengthy series of court battles in both Uganda and the UK.
After the issue was brought to the attention of Uganda's tax authority, a Tax Appeals Tribunal heard the case, as the company denied it was liable to Capital Gains Tax on the sale of its assets.
While the tribunal ruled in favour of Uganda, Heritage disputed the decision and the case was moved to a court in London and dragged on for months.
In the meantime, the Ugandan government clamped down on the new owners of the oil assets, Tullow Uganda Ltd, and relations between the two started to break down.
In an attempt to salvage its business operations in Uganda, Tullow paid the Ugandan government and later successfully sued Heritage to reclaim the money.
In a region littered with mineral deposits of many sorts, and brimming with exploration being carried out by foreign companies, the revelations contained in the Panama Papers highlight the need to tighten tax laws, says Ms Rubagumya.
"Base erosion and profit shifting through aggressive tax planning, treaty abuse and double non-taxation requires concerted effort from the revenue authorities and policy makers," she told the BBC.
"African countries should therefore close all potential loopholes and stand firm to ensure that tax due is paid."


Greenock freight terminal could double the number of containers it handles, under plans announced by owners Peel Ports.

The five-year plan is linked to the expansion of the company's hub at Liverpool.
Very large container ships will offload there to smaller ships serving the Clyde, Manchester and Ireland.
The port operator believes its investment will reduce the amount of freight carried by road.
Peel Ports' Clydeport director Andrew Hemphill said: "The opening of Liverpool2 has transformed the playing field for us, bringing deep-sea connections much closer to Scotland and we are now in a unique position thanks to our Irish Sea Hubs.
"Mega ocean container ships can now call directly into Liverpool, which acts as a feeder hub to us in Greenock, Ireland and Manchester, allowing closer import and export routes to market.
"It is a more commercially viable, sustainable way to move goods around by sea."
He added: "Our connections will take traffic off of Britain's already busy motorways and offer a cheaper more environmentally friendly method of transportation."


Kenya's opposition leader has urged people to stay away from work on Monday over the disputed election result.

Raila Odinga said it would be a "day of mourning for the fallen patriots" after a rally in Kibera, the largest slum in the capital Nairobi.
The international community has urged calm following the vote, which Mr Odinga alleges was fixed.
The official results gave President Uhuru Kenyatta 54.3%, and Mr Odinga 44.7%.
The allegation has sparked violent protests, with news agency AFP reporting at least 16 people killed since Friday. On Saturday, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said 24 people had been shot dead during protests since election day on 8 August.
It is unclear how much these two figures overlap.
The victims included a nine-year-old girl hit by a stray bullet in Nairobi's Mathere slum.
In a tweet sent after the rally, Mr Odinga said they had died at the hands of "Jubilee mandated death squads", referring to Mr Kenyata's party.
A man was also killed in Kisumu county, an opposition stronghold and the centre of post-election ethnic violence in 2007, when 1,200 people died and 600,000 were displaced.
"This is a failed regime that is resorting to killing people instead of addressing the real issue. The vote was stolen. There's no secret about that," Mr Odinga told the 4,000 people who had gathered to hear him talk on Sunday.
He added:  "We had predicted they will steal the election and that's what happened. We are not done yet. We will not give up. Wait for the next course of action which I will announce the day after tomorrow.
"But for now I want to tell you not to go to work tomorrow Monday)."
The BBC's reporter in Nairobi said his claims were contrary to reports from both local and international observers that the poll was free and fair.
European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan are among those who have urged Mr Odinga to seek redress through the courts - something the opposition coalition says is not an option.
The Elections Observation Group (Elog), which had 8,300 observers, said its projected outcome put Mr Kenyatta on 54%, just short of the official figure of 54.3%.


Four in five children in the UK think social media companies are not doing enough to protect them online, according to a study.

They said they were being exposed to inappropriate images, messages of self-harm and bullying.
The NSPCC surveyed 1,696 11- to 18-year-olds, who rated Ask.fm and Facebook among the riskiest sites.
Ask.fm said it took the report "seriously" and had contacted the charity to "discuss the findings".
A spokeswoman from the website said: "We recognise our responsibility and continually strive to improve our tools and polices to protect our users."
The children were asked questions on their experiences of signing up to the app, site or game, to assess how appropriate the content was for their age group, and say whether they were able to report and block people, change privacy settings and contact support.
One 16-year-old girl was asked to review Ask.fm, a site where users ask each other questions, and said: "It had no strict controls which led to lots of hurtful messages being spread about people, which I believe contributed to people self-harming or just feeling negative about themselves."
Of those surveyed, 1,380 children said social media sites needed to do more to keep them from coming across inappropriate or harmful content.
Children also rated Omegle, which randomly pairs users to have one-to-one conversations, and IMVU, a 3D virtual world which allows people to talk via avatars.
An 18-year-old boy who uses IMVU said he liked "getting to be myself".
"Picking how I look, and how I present myself to people. I enjoy talking to people that don't know me."
The research is part of the NSPCC's Net Aware programme to give advice to parents about the risks of children using websites.
NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless said: "Children do not feel that they are shielded from upsetting, dangerous, and adult content.
"It's vital parents know about their child's online world and regularly talk with their children about how to get help if they need it."
Mr Wanless admitted it can feel "nearly impossible" for parents to keep up with their children's social media use because of how fast the internet is developing.
In January, the children's commissioner for England said the internet was not designed for children. Anne Longfield urged companies to simplify their terms and conditions so young people would know what they were signing up to.
A few months later, Lib Dem peers told MPs that schools needed to have staff who were "really up to date with technology".
However, former government mental health tsar Natasha Devon told the health and education committees that children were getting around ways to control their online activity by owning multiple handheld devices.
Facebook said the safety of young people is a "priority" for them and that they have resources for parents and users to prevent bullying and harmful content from being accessed on their site.
Omegle's company website warns people to use the site at their own peril but to disconnect with someone if they feel uncomfortable.
By using the site, it said people agreed to behave in a certain way including not transmitting nudity or sexually harassing anyone. But the company said people were "solely responsible for their own behaviour".
The BBC also contacted IMVU for a response to the NSPCC's findings.


Azerbaijan's ruling party has won parliamentary elections that were boycotted by the main opposition parties, the country's electoral commission said.

The ruling New Azerbaijan party had won at least 70 seats in the 125-seat parliament, the commission said.
A host of small parties and candidates loyal to President Ilham Aliyev took almost all the rest.
The opposition has accused the government of jailing its opponents.
International monitors from the OSCE did not observe the vote, citing government restrictions.
More than a dozen political parties were vying for 125 seats in Azerbaijan's National Assembly.
But analysts say those that could be considered genuine in their opposition to the government refused to participate.
"The pre-election period was marred by massive violations. That's why we decided not to participate," opposition Musavat Party leader Arif Gajily told Reuters news agency.
Sunday's vote serves as a reminder of the oppressive political environment inside the oil-rich nation.
In the past two years the Azeri authorities have jailed almost all critical voices, among them journalists, civil society activists, and human rights lawyers.
The government has also become increasingly intolerant of international criticism.
It denied the existence of any political prisoners, and it frequently describes negative publicity as a Western agenda to discredit Azerbaijan.
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the leading international monitoring group, has not considered any of Azerbaijan's elections since independence to be free and fair.
This year - for the first time in more than two decades - it chose not to send a mission, condemning the Azerbaijani government's "crackdown on independent and critical voices".


Italy helped rescue a total of more than 3,300 migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean on Friday, the country's coastguard has said.

In one operation, 17 bodies were found on three boats. Another 217 people who were on board were rescued.
The coastguard said distress calls were made from 17 different boats on Friday.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says at least 1,826 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean so far in 2015.
It represents an almost 30-fold increase on the same period last year, the IOM says.
The Corriere della Serra newspaper said (in Italian) that most of the rescues on Friday took place close to the Libyan coast.
Irish, German and Belgian ships took part in the rescue, the newspaper said.
The UN estimates that at least 40,000 people tried to cross the Mediterranean between the start of the year and late April.
The rise has been attributed to chaos in Libya - the staging post for most crossings - as well as milder weather.
Many migrants are trying to escape conflict or poverty in countries such as Syria, Eritrea, Nigeria and Somalia.
On Thursday, the charity Medecins sans Frontieres reported that a 98-year-old Syrian man had been rescued from a boat, having travelled by sea from Egypt for 13 days. He was taken to Augusta in Sicily.

An 18-year-old student has made a scientific breakthrough that could help save the lives of black athletes with undiagnosed heart problems.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can lead to the heart suddenly stopping.
Henry Roth, from Hampshire, proved different tests for the condition were needed for black and white athletes - which do not currently take place.
A cardiologist who worked with Henry on the project said he was "astonished" by the teenager's findings.
Henry was inspired to investigate the condition after the death of his uncle at the age of 21.
A research project emerged from a conversation with a cardiologist at St George's Hospital in London during tests on Henry's own heart.
They discussed how black athletes were at higher risk and the aspiring doctor resolved to find a better way of testing.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease where the heart muscle becomes thickened, increasing the risk of the heart suddenly stopping.
Screening does take place, but intense exercise can also lead to a thicker heart - so some athletes might not be aware they have the condition.
Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch in 2012 when his heart stopped, despite being described as one of the fittest players at the club.
Marc-Vivien Foe, the Cameroon footballer, died during an international match in 2003.
An alternative way of testing involves looking at the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use up at the limits of physical exercise.  Those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cannot reach the same peak.
Henry's study on elite athletes found differences between black and white athletes, but these were not accounted for during screening.
It meant black athletes were less likely to be diagnosed.
Henry, who studied at Guildford's Royal Grammar School, said he could not believe the difference had not been identified already.
He told the BBC: "I was quite frankly shocked, but it takes people who are shocked to do something about it, make something happen and not sit back and accept normal practice."
Prof Sanjay Sharma, the medical director of the London Marathon and the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, said: "Henry has a thirst for researching the heart, driven by his own family's experience of sudden cardiac death.
"He wants to make sure other families don't go through what he has experienced, and I have been really excited, and quite astonished, by the research he undertook with me and my colleagues at St George's Hospital.
"Henry's work has the potential to change the way we test athletes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy."
Around one in 500 people in the UK has the condition, although it will not affect the lives of the majority of patients.
Henry explains: "An aeroplane on the ground with a mechanical fault is not dangerous, but as soon as you take it into the air it's dangerous.
"As soon as they go on to the field it leads to the possibility of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)."
Henry was also a finalist in the National Science and Engineering Competition.
He will be returning to St George's to continue the research before travelling during a gap year and then pursuing a career in medicine.


Edinburgh became the first Scottish side to reach the Heineken Cup semi-finals as they toppled four-time champions Toulouse at Murrayfield.

The hosts took the lead through Mike Blair's early try but Toulouse went in front courtesy of three Lionel Beauxis penalties and Timoci Matanavou's try.
Greig Laidlaw's drop-goal and two penalties put Edinburgh 16-14 ahead.
And a late Laidlaw penalty sealed the win in front of 37,881 fans - a record crowd for a Scottish club game.
Edinburgh will now play either Munster or Ulster at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Saturday 28 April.

Going into the game, both history and form were against Edinburgh. Toulouse are the most successful club ever in the Heineken Cup, while the Scots were playing in the quarter-finals for just the second time, having lost away to Toulouse on their only previous appearance at this stage in 2004.
The French giants are also currently top of the French Top 14, while Edinburgh are second from bottom of the Pro12, the only club below them - Aironi - set to go out of existence at the end of the season.
But Edinburgh were in no mood to be overawed and took the lead after only two minutes.
Fly-half Laidlaw thumped a kick high into the 22, Toulouse winger Manatavou was unable to take the ball under pressure from David Denton and Blair was on hand to collect.
The scrum-half went over the line on his back in a tackle but was eventually ruled to have dotted down after a review by the television match official, Laidlaw converting.
Toulouse's power then began to tell and a hat-trick of Beauxis penalties put them 9-7 up before they extended their lead with a dazzling solo try from Matanavou.
There looked to be little danger when he fielded a high kick on his own 10m line but electric footwork took him through the massed ranks of the Edinburgh pack, before straight-out speed saw him outpace the cover to score in the corner.
The hosts had by this point been reduced to 13 men after yellow cards for Allan Jacobsen and Ross Rennie, but they defiantly cut the gap to only four points at the break as Laidlaw banged over a long-range drop-goal.
With Edinburgh back to a full complement, Toulouse then found themselves reduced to 14 men as hooker William Servat played the ball in an off-side position.
And Edinburgh took full advantage, with Laidlaw landing two penalties to give them a 16-14 lead with just under half an hour to play.
It seemed inevitable that Toulouse's greater experience would tell as the half wore on but it was Edinburgh who upped their game, dominating territory and possession but finding themselves unable to make the final breakthrough.
Toulouse managed a couple of desperate late attacks but the hosts had the last word, Laidlaw landing his third penalty as Edinburgh secured a historic win.
