Margaret Thatcher has passed away following a stroke.



She was the British Prime Minster from 1979 to 1990 and was a dominant figure in the United Kingdom.She was the first woman to hold that post.
She subsequently became Education Secretary before successfully challenging former prime minister Edward Heath for her party's leadership in 1975.

She retired from the Commons in 1992.

In office she soon cultivated a tough image as the ''Iron Lady''.She was a formidable woman, tough and outspoken, who shaped world politics and the role of women in politics as well.


Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning.
"A further statement will be made later."

She died at the age of 87.

May she rest in peace.
