Thatcher returns to No 10 for unveiling of her new portrait
Ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher yesterday returned to No 10 Downing Street for the official unveiling of her new portrait.
The former prime minister is believed to be the first living politician to have her portrait hung in the official residence. Although photos of all modern prime ministers line the main staircase, only two 20th century premiers have paintings on display: David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
The portrait was painted by Royal artist Richard Stone, and it will go on permanent display in the stateroom’s lobby on the first floor.
