Speaking to 400 Conservatives from Dorset constituencies MT "made a ten minute informal speech in which she paid tribute to the armed forces and others who took part in the battle for the Falklands" (Dorset Evening Echo, 16 July 1982). Local press coverage of MT’s visit to Wimborne and Poole the following morning recorded no remarks of any kind. ITN indexes record that she refused to comment on the resignation of the Queen’s bodyguard. |
