“You strode into our midst at a time when America [England] needed you most. This great country had been through a period of national malaise bereft of any sense of moral direction. Through it all, throughout eight [twelve] of the fastest-moving years in memory, you were unflappable and unyielding. You were not only America’s president [England’s prime minister], important as that is, you were a great leader. In a time of average men, you have stood taller than anyone else.”

The world will miss you Mrs. Thatcher!
