How British people feel about Margaret Thatcher will depend on which one of them you speak to. Some feel that she restored the nation's pride, defended the Falkland Isles against the Argentinians and crushed the dangerous socialist fringes of trade unionist movements. Others believe she provoked a needless war with Argentina, pursued an agenda against common workers, destroyed the coal industry and stole milk from school children. It's all a matter of perspective!
Thatcher was driven from power in 1990 but lived until 2013, enduring years of poor health in her later years, and especially seeming to struggle after the death of her husband Denis, who had always been her strongest supporter. This last-known image of her was taken at her 87th birthday celebration in October 2012. She suffered a fatal stroke on April 8th the following year.
