Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher has died "peacefully" at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke, her family has announced.

Successor David Cameron called her a "great Briton" and the Queen spoke of her sadness at the death.

Lady Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the role.

She will not be accorded a state funeral, in accordance with her own wishes, Downing Street said.

Mr Cameron, who is in Madrid for meetings, has cancelled planned talks in Paris with French President Francois Hollande and will return to the UK later on Monday.

Hopefully the songs that Liverpool fans sing about her will finally stop - respect the dead. RIP

Ehh, no? Did she respect the dead in 89? Did she ever show any remorsed? F*ck Maggie Thatcher, my pints will taste all the more sweeter tonight.

I completely understand what you are saying and I know she was wrong back in 89. However I'm not one for celebrating the death of anyone. JFT96

Am not either, but if we can celebrate the death of Sadam, Osama and Gaddafi why not this cow? Not sure i can fake any respect for her as i've never, ever like her. Justice is half done, screw her. Justice for the 96 - just wish she was alive to see it!

Though many decisions by Thatcher were controversial - Her courage and determination against the IRA and others is admirable

in my opinion its a huge pity the IRA didn't kill her. But yes she showed balls at times, maybe to much sometimes, irrelevant as she'll forever be up there with the likes of Andreas Brevik, Hitler and Mussolini.

Greatest prime minster in British history better than Churchill.

Anyone who thinks otherwise should do some research. The fact it is being discussed on here says it all.

RIP Margaret

no tears from me anyway

maggie thatcher gave them another boost by allowing the hunger strikers to die and saw a massive increase in recruitment to the IRA, similar to what happened during internment. This made what she did all the more pointless in that in the subsequent years, they got pretty much all their demands bar the status of POWs
