In Loving Memory Of: Margaret Thatcher 13 Oct 1925 - 8 Apr 2013 87 Years Old "The Iron Lady" Your memorial? Click here to edit... Share this Memorial with Friends & Family: Share Memorial on FB Biography: Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, was a prominent British stateswoman who made history as the United Kingdom's first female Prime Minister. Born on October 13, 1925, in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, she became one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. Thatcher's political career began as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley in 1959. Her political ascent was marked by her conservative ideology and a determination to implement a series of economic and political reforms that would later become known as "Thatcherism." She was elected as the leader of the Conservative Party in 1975. In 1979, Margaret Thatcher achieved a historic victory, becoming the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Her tenure as Prime Minister, which lasted until 1990, was marked by a series of sweeping policies and reforms that significantly reshaped Britain's economic and political landscape. One of Thatcher's most notable policies was her commitment to free-market principles and the reduction of state intervention in the economy. This approach, often referred to as "Thatcherism," led to privatization of state-owned industries, deregulation, and a focus on individual enterprise. Her economic policies brought about significant changes in the British economy, though they also generated controversy and debates over their social impact. Margaret Thatcher was a staunch advocate for the United Kingdom on the international stage. Her leadership during the Falklands War in 1982 and her close partnership with U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War era solidified her reputation as a strong and determined leader. However, her time in office was marked by divisions and controversies, particularly concerning her confrontational style and policies that affected various sectors of British society, including labor unions and public services. These policies led to both passionate support and vocal opposition. In 1990, Margaret Thatcher's leadership of the Conservative Party came to an end, and she resigned as Prime Minister. She remained an active member of the House of Lords and continued to be influential in political discussions and public life. Margaret Thatcher passed away on April 8, 2013. Her legacy remains a subject of ongoing debate and reflection, with her impact on British politics, the global economy, and the role of women in leadership being central topics of discussion. Regardless of one's perspective on her policies, she undeniably left an indelible mark on the history of the United Kingdom and the world.

He was also known for his appearances on the BBC celebrity talent show Strictly Come Dancing. Together, Myers and King presented a multitude of television cookery series for the BBC. They also launched their own product called The Hairy Bikers Diet Club. Myers and Si King first appeared on the BBC's show The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook. The programme presented a mixture of cookery and travelogue, using a similar style to chef Keith Floyd, including the habit of frequently referring to the cameraman and other crew. Most shows featured the pair riding motorbikes, including the BMW R1200GS, F650GS[5][6] and Triumph Rocket III. The show also featured elements of the Two Fat Ladies format, including regular banter between the two stars, use of various unusual cooking locations and the use of motorbikes. On 24 August 2009, they hosted a 30-part daytime series for BBC Two, The Hairy Bikers' Food Tour of Britain, which aired on weekdays. The series saw them visit a different county each day and cook what they considered to be that county's signature dish.[7] In January 2010, a six-part series titled The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best was broadcast on BBC Two.[8] On 25 October 2010 a new 40-episode series, The Hairy Bikers' Cook Off, was launched on BBC Two. The programme included a cook off between two families and celebrity guests. From January to May 2010, the Hairy Bikers performed their Big Night Out show in theatres throughout the UK. Directed by Bob Mortimer, the show was a fun mixture of cooking and chat plus a little song and dance. It explored their youth, how they met and their love of food. From November to December 2011, the Bikers appeared in a 30-part BBC series called Hairy Bikers: Best of British, airing at 3:45pm on BBC Two (apart from the show's final week, in which it aired on BBC One). The series celebrated British recipes and championed local produce. In January 2012, continuing into February, BBC Two showed hour-long re-versions including recipes from various episodes of the series.[11] After they had signed new contracts with the BBC in 2011, a new series was commissioned. The Hairy Biker's Bakeation saw the Hairy Bikers doing what they love best – a gastronomic road trip, uncovering the best baking on offer across Europe, from Norway, the Low Countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg), Germany, Eastern Europe (Slovakia, Hungary and Romania), Austria, Italy and France to Spain. In March 2012, Good Food commissioned The Hairy Biker's Mississippi Adventure, the duo's first series for the channel. UKTV gave a description of the series: "In this ultimate food and music pilgrimage, the perennially popular Hairy Bikers are getting back in the saddle as they explore the length of the iconic Mississippi River in America in pursuit of the delicious roots of soul food and Southern music." The series was produced by Mentorn Media, and the Bikers' first interactive iOS app, also produced by Mentorn, was released to accompany the series. In August 2012, Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight showed how The Hairy Bikers radically changed their lifestyles, but stayed true to their love of great food, as they embarked on a campaign to lose two and a half stone (15.8 kg (35 lb)) in three months, comfortably passing their target weights.[12] In February 2014, they launched a new series, The Hairy Bikers' Asian Adventure for BBC Two which saw them travelling in Asia sampling the local cuisine, meeting local people and cooking up some native dishes themselves. The series follows in a similar style to the Bakeation series in 2012. In March 2015, they co-presented The Nation's Favourite Food on BBC Two alongside Lorraine Pascale.[13] After having experienced their own success with balancing eating the food they love while also being conscious of their health and losing weight, they wanted to help others to do the same. In January 2014, they launched The Hairy Bikers Diet Club, which includes recipes and tips and tricks to help people to live a healthier and trimmer life, while not starving to be "skinny minnies".[14] Gallery: Listen To Their Voice: Dave Myers 00:00 / 00:27 Location Of Memorial: Not publicly known Memorial Created By: Anonymous
