On the 12th June 1987 Margaret Thatcher acheived a hat-trick of successive General
On the 12th June 1987 Margaret Thatcher acheived a hat-trick of successive General Election victories, the first Prime Minister to do so for over a century. On top of this she did it with a considerable majority. She even spoke of winning a fourth term in 1992. Unfortunately for Thatcher she failed to see out her third term and it was her successor John Major who led the Tories to that victory.

EDITORS COMMENTS
On the 12th June 1987, Margaret Thatcher made history by achieving a remarkable hat-trick of successive General Election victories, becoming the first Prime Minister in over a century to accomplish such an extraordinary feat. With an impressive majority, she solidified her position as a formidable leader in British politics. Her triumph was so resounding that she even contemplated winning a fourth term in 1992. In this print captured by Sean Smith from Memory Lane Prints, we witness the iconic moment when Margaret Thatcher and her devoted husband Denis return to No 10 Downing Street for the third time. The image exudes confidence and optimism as they smile together, basking in their electoral success. However, fate had other plans for Thatcher's political journey. Despite her ambitions for another term, she was unable to complete her third tenure as Prime Minister. Instead, it was John Major who would lead the Conservative Party to victory after Thatcher's departure. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Margaret Thatcher's indelible mark on British politics during the vibrant era of the 1980s. It encapsulates both her unwavering determination and undeniable charisma that propelled her to become one of Britain's most influential leaders. As we reflect upon this significant moment in history through Sean Smith's lens, let us remember how Margaret Thatcher reshaped political landscapes and left an enduring legacy.
