Baroness Thatcher was welcomed back to 10 Downing Street today for an historic private meeting with the Prime Minister.

David Cameron came to the door of Number 10 to welcome Lady Thatcher and helped the visibly frail former premier from her limousine.

The 84-year-old 'Iron Lady' waved to waiting photographers but made no comment as she entered the address from which she led the UK between 1979 and 1990.

Always wonderful to see Mrs. Thatcher.

Too bad Cameron isn’t a Thatcherite.

Class. So glad I grew up in the 80s under Thatcher, Reagan.

[colorado tanker]

My thought too. Had he offered a clear alternative to Labour and Lib/Lab he might have won outright.

[dogcaller]

God Bless Mrs. Thatcher and the memories of President Reagan and Pope John Paul.

[JennysCool]

Yeah. Would that he was!

[heshtesh]

What a Lady.

“Class. So glad I grew up in the 80s under Thatcher, Reagan.”

Same here. Those were the days my friend

[fieldmarshaldj]

What a shame what the trash kids have to grow up under today.

[RedMDer]

God Bless Mrs. Thatcher and the memories of President Reagan and Pope John Paul.

I second that!

Lady T.: “Oh, I say, we are grand, aren’t we? ‘Oh, oh, no more buttered scones for me, mater. I'm off to play the grand piano.’”

Class. So glad I grew up in the 80s under Thatcher, Reagan.

It was a very proud time in America and I agree with you. Mighty people of their word instead we hav spinless, weakling, communists who are thoroughly disgusting and utterly dishonorable running things now.

[NeoCaveman]

Those were the days my friend

Indeed they were.

[DM1]

these were the days!

I love that photo. Thanks for posting!

[38special]

What’s John Boehner doing in that photo dressed like a bobby?

[Carley]

We are definitely in a garbage decade. Began in 2006 and we must show the upcoming generation a better way.

Margaret Thatcher stood up to the liberals in her OWN PARTY who were getting nervous a couple years into her tenure! She spoke to them in a splendid and public manner, telling them she was going to continue the course. See her do it on youtube:

The Lady's not for turning!

We need more men and women like her in America! (Our conservative women--Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer seem to get it! How about the men?)

Just like Churchill back in the 30s when his own party was busy trying to appease Hitler.
