LONDON
Today, a statue near the U.S. Embassy in London was unveiled. The ceremony was attended by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Foreign Secretary William Hague in London's Grosvenor Square.
Secretary Hague read a message on behalf of Thatcher, Reagan's friend and ally:
“Ronald Reagan was a great president and a great man - a true leader for our times. He held clear principles and acted upon them with purpose.
"Through his strength and his conviction he brought millions of people to freedom as the Iron Curtain finally came down.
"It was a pleasure to be his colleague and his friend, and I hope that this statue will be a reminder to future generations of the debt we owe him."
