Margaret Thatcher in Northern Ireland. Archive film 39464
Northern Ireland 1970's A crowd jostling to get better view. Photographers. A smart coach behind the crowd. We then see the familiar face of Margaret Thatcher in the midst of the crowd about 1979. Indoors Mrs Thatcher, wearing a dark blue suit, meets senior citizens. Close up of Mrs Thatcher gently holding the hand of a lady. She meets another seated lady who has obviously dressed for the occasion wearing a bright orange hat. Margaret appears from a doorway with cameras everywhere. She accepts a Paddington Bear? From a young child. In what looks like the front garden of a new house, she appears with a young woman in a flowery dress and others in the group. Lots of cameras and microphones and a sign 'good luck Maggie'. The young woman appears to be a bit overwhelmed by it all and is holding a key in her hands. Margaret Thatcher speaks to the press. New housing estate.
