Rupert Murdoch, the man many believe rang the first death knell for the street when he relocated The Sun and The News of the World to Wapping in 1986, gave a reading at the service.
Newspaper production began on the famous street over 300 years ago, but the last daily newspaper left just ten years after News International began the exodus, in response to the newspaper production revolution that saw the end of hot metal.
Today's service was made to mark the move of news agency Reuters from its home of 66 years, 85 Fleet Street. The final tranche of journalists left the building last Friday.
