Half mast
Yesterday, the Union Flag flew at half mast outside the Consulate and it will again the day of the state funeral next week.
In a tribute to the late Baroness Thatcher, The British Ambassador to Spain, Giles Paxman, said: “Lady Thatcher was the United Kingdom's first woman prime minister and without doubt one of the greatest peacetime leaders of the 20th century. “She had a fearless approach to politics and the courage to do what she believed was necessary to modernise the British economy. “Structural reform is never easy or popular, but in Britain today our economy continues to benefit from the many reforms that she put in place. “I offer my deepest sympathy to her family and friends at this time of sad loss.”
