She was fabulous.
Stellar!!!! I wish I had seen her live...will try to do so otherwise.
Ping for Baroness Thatcher's words.
Semper Fi
My vet (cold war NATO captain, 60s-era visitor to Russia) was a little misty today as we talked of our mutual admiration for Reagan. He'd just been listening to Thatcher.
(Hot spot meds, two arthritis meds -- need a day or two between them, one's a cadillac, one's a toyota, decide what's best, and since he's gained 10 pounds since last visit, looks like I've got a Diet Buddy for the month of June. Looking for Science Diet Senior "light" ... feed store here didn't have it.)
Thank you, I had missed Lady Thatcher's remarks.
What a tribute by a true friend!
=== a cheerful and invigorating presence
therein lies a major difference between Idealists -- men of conviction who can be counted on always to abide by those convictions -- and Pragmatists of the "personally opposed, but ..." variety.
The 'Iron Maiden' was spectacular!
By the way, did you see Evita's face? That woman is disturbed. If she can only put such a hateful and smug face on for the event, why didn't she stay home? She's such a wormy little dirt ball, so small and tactless.
Bump for later reading!
What a classy Lady...
If President Reagan has an equal in this world it is Lady Thatcher. God Bless the Iron Lady.
God bless the Iron Lady. What a fabulous speech. How utterly moving. They don't make them like that any more!
Thanks for posting.
Reagan and Thatcher were indeed true soul mates, and I have no doubt whatsoever that they will have a beautiful reunion when Lady Thatcher gets to Heaven and sees Ronnie again.
A great eulogy. Me thinks Ronnie was smiling while listening to it.
She was brilliant. The highlight of the ceremony.
I have not heard why she can no longer use her voice. Anybody know?
save for later read, thanks for posting
Beautiful speech. I was in the hospital for a cat scan, and when I returned to the dressing room she was on the hospital TV. I think it's the only time I've ever sat in a hospital waiting room AFTER I've had an appointment. Stunning. This is the Maggie Thatcher I remember from those days.
