    Where in the world is Margaret Thatcher Day celebrated?

    Question #60320. Asked by brummie6.

    January 10th is celebrated as such in the Falkland Islands although it is not an official public holiday.
    I don't know why this date was chosen.

    I do know Lady Thatcher turned down an invitation for the 20th anniversary of the Falklands beause 86-year old Denis was too frail to make the 18-hour flight and she wouldn't leave him.

    In the Falkland Islands, Margaret Thatcher Day is celebrated as a public holiday every 10 January, commemorating her visit on this date in 1983, seven months after the military victory; the decision was taken by the Falklands Islands legislature in 1992.
