STORYLINE:
The former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, made her first appearance on Monday, since the death of General Augusto Pinochet on Sunday.
Lady Thatcher, who was a loyal supporter of Pinochet, has not spoken in public since the former Chilean President's death. Her office said she was "greatly saddened" on hearing the news.
Pinochet, the fiercely anti-communist dictator who ruled Chile with an iron fist from 1973 to 1990, died on Sunday aged 91. He suffered from heart complications, the Santiago Military hospital reported.
Pinochet was a staunch ally of Britain during the Falklands campaign of 1982, when British forces reclaimed the islands for Britain after an Argentine invasion.
Thatcher always insists that Pinochet offered the British invaluable help during the conflict.
