Margaret Thatcher

22 images Created 2 Feb 2010

Margaret Thatcher is seen during the period of her late political career. Firstly as she speaks a year after leaving office as Prime Minister at the 1991 Conservative Party Conference, at parliament's dispatch box, caricatured by Spitting Image, meeting the Emir of Kuwait and with her late husband Dennis.

Thatcher's political career has been one of the most remarkable of modern times. Born in October 1925 at Grantham, a small market town in eastern England, she rose to become the first (and for two decades the only) woman to lead a major Western democracy. She won three successive General Elections and served as British Prime Minister for more than eleven years (1979-90), a record unmatched in the twentieth century.

  • Margaret Thatcher plays up to the media at a North London school in her own constituency of Finchley during the 1992 general election. Although Thatcher had already resigned as Prime Minister in November 1990, John Major won the ensuing leadership election later that year. Photographers and cameramen surround the former-Prime Minister who is wearing a purple suit and matching broach. She is mid-sentence and has found something amusing to respond to the chants of the media. We see cameras, sound booms and flashes all prepared to photograph this famous statesman including Tom Stoddart who is making eye-contact with the viewer.

  • Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is seen dancing with a Tory Party official during the 1990 Conservative Party conference in Blackpool. Thatcher is wearing a favourite black and red ball gown and is the centre of attention for delegates and media. She is seen with Joy, Babs and Teddie - otherwise known as the Beverly Sisters entertainers, the  longest surviving vocal group of all time without a change in the line up. The sisters kick their legs up in the air dancing the Charleston (though not in unison) but Mrs Thatcher in her long dress declines and merely stands straight-legged. They are on the dance floor and Tory party officials are enjoying the moment as their PM relishes the moment.

  • Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is seen dancing with a Tory Party official during the 1990 Conservative Party conference in Blackpool. Thatcher is wearing a favourite black and red ball gown and is the centre of attention for delegates and media whose TV lights have lit the dancing couple from the right-hand side. Her partner is young and has acne and is wearing a formal dinner jacket and bow tie. The image is warm from the ambient light and there is a slight blur of movement as they sweep past the viewer.
