Baroness Thatcher has died at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke, her spokesman Lord Bell has announced.

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."

Baroness Thatcher, Britain's first and only woman prime minister, had become increasingly frail and was suffering ill health in recent years.

She was admitted to hospital shortly before Christmas where she underwent an operation to remove a growth from her bladder but was allowed to return home before new year.

Baroness Thatcher, who was prime minister between 1979 and 1990, has been credited with transforming a nation in one decade, putting Britain back among the leading industrial nations of the world.....

I doubt that I'll hang around too much today.  I already know what DU's reaction will be and I don't care to see it.

I remember the story on how she and her aide were on an inspection tour of some SAS base, and played hostages in the training "shoot house" there. Her aide was panicking when the rounds started going off in the dark, and Lady Thatcher just sat there calmly, calmed her aide, and congratulated the shooters on their marksmanship when the session concluded.

When I grow up, I'd love to have balls as big as Lady Thatcher's.

Hi5 - almost brings a tear to my eye to hear a British leader speak like that. We desperately need another like her.

I imagine she got quite a warm welcome from Reagan and Pope John Paul II.  The champions of the Cold War reunited.

I expect that with Lady Margaret's passing, we'll hear less from the White House - if that were possible - than we did over the death of Chris Kyle.

Yeah, right.

While every other country in the world'll send high-ranking dignitaries to the funeral, I'm sure Massa Barry's just going to send some second-rate hip-hop rap star to represent us.

It's a great loss for Britain. When she stepped down, the pussified liberals took over.

I'm sure she was ashamed to what has happened to a once proud country.

RIP dear Lady.

The British government says former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will receive a ceremonial funeral with military honors.
 
Downing Street says Queen Elizabeth II has authorized a ceremonial funeral - a step short of a state funeral - to be held at St. Paul's Cathedral.
 
It says the funeral will be attended by a "wide and diverse range of people," and the service will be followed by a private cremation.
 
It did not provide further details on the timing of the service, saying only that the arrangement are "in line with the wishes" of Thatcher's family.

Laura and I are saddened by the death of Baroness Margaret Thatcher.
 
She was an inspirational leader who stood on principle and guided her nation with confidence and clarity.
 
Prime Minister Thatcher is a great example of strength and character, and a great ally who strengthened the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
 
Laura and I join the people of Great Britain in remembering the life and leadership of this strong woman and friend.

Here's the tribute from the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
 
- - - - - - - - - -

Today I mourn the passing of Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher. She was truly a great leader, a woman of principle, of determination, of conviction, of strength; a woman of greatness. She was a staunch friend of Israel and the Jewish people. She inspired a generation of political leaders. I send my most sincere condolences to her family and to the government and people of Great Britain.
