THATCHER
LONDON, (Reuters):
FORMER BRITISH Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the 'Iron Lady' who dominated British politics for more than a decade, left hospital yesterday after being admitted a day earlier for feeling faint.
Thatcher, 80, smiled and waved as she walked from the hospital and was driven away. She was kept in overnight as a precautionary measure after falling ill at her hairdresser's.
"She had a peaceful night, very rested, in her room," said a spokesman for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
Thatcher's spokesman, Mark Worthington, said she had been admitted after feeling "unwell, rather faint and not herself", but appeared to have recovered in hospital by Wednesday night.
