Mrs Thatcher is a class act. Holding her hand over her heart for the National Anthem? _That_ was class!
Yes she is
What a pair they were. He phoned her for advice on almost everything. Loyalty to the end.
then immediately forgot what she's said
@@daviedovey She'd
TheRenaissanceman65 millions of unemployed British people emigrated to America and Ronald Reagan gave them all well-paid jobs
@Marta Twardowska He did; he got caught, and the police charged him with having an offensive person on his weapon.
By god. You say that if it's a good thing
Look how they show respect for each other's anthems by placing hand on heart!
they're only doing the required dance moves
@@daviedovey ...which signifies respect.
jaxxstraw take your pardners
TheRenaissanceman65 sometimes we play the spoons
john grogan you’re a nasty beast.
Something I love about Reagan is how he's always smiling. Just putting out a cheerful attitude all the time. What a guy.
Senility does that to you....
Sonuçta o bir eski cowboy ve kral ın john wayne nin arkadaşıdır güzel günlere zamanlara Şerefe bay başkan ☕️🥃🥃
He was really graceful!
@@stevefowler5970 Idk man, this guy could complete speeches and walk properly, look at Joe Biden compared to this.
@@kevinprzy4539 I get it, you are mesmerized by Hollywood actors...
When the 'special relationship' meant something ...
Thank you, Mr President and Madam Prime Minister. May you both rest in peace. Well done, good and faithful servants of liberty and self-determination.
Greetings from a capitalist libertarian from Germany 🇩🇪
When both spoke together, there was a feeling of history being cemented in time. The greatest generation and time in history led by conservatism.
when both spoke together they said exactly the same things at the exactly the same time
Indeed. There are times for progress and liberalism, and there are times for tradition and conservatism. That time was exactly for the latter, and they took the lead, and they delivered. I'm sure history will put them where they deserve to be, and the western world will celebrate them for decades and hopefully centuries to come.
Facundo Alvarado there are always times for government to do its job properly and efficiency - ideology can get in the way of that because of its inflexibility
Each of them what a historical moment at that time
Right on, brother!
The PM put her hand over her heart for our anthem. LOVE HER
And Reagan put his hand on his heart for God Save the Queen, whoops!
It's actually a mark of respect.
She was amazing. That’s why as a woman I will vote for an American woman for president - as long as she’s like Margaret Thatcher.
she took her time
brits should do that more for the anthem
Love them both: I sincerely wished we had more people like them at the helm in the States and in UK
We'll never see such a perfect match ever again
Yes Reagan was such a nice man
@Albus Dumbledore Be always hopeful, stay strong!!!!
Sure we could, but the left cant stand goodness, they are after wrong doing, and ruin, and destruction, TRUMP tried, and by then he was denied, and now we are having to deal with the china hand shake from the leftist democrats that has led us to destruction, Thanks biden, You are doing a wonderful job ay making America suck again....and a special shout out to the Live voters who was dumb enough to cast a vote for this shit we are in.
It's really President Pelosi who is Commander-in-Chief, not Joe Biden. Biden's wife should be ashamed of herself for allowing liberals to use her husband as their spokes person to run America. Joe is in the early to mid stages of dementia, and is not mentally fit to run a nation. I'm sure he forgets that he's even President until his wife has to remind him. Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and all their liberal sidekicks is the real threat to America and they will lead this nation into collapse and destruction.
@@xshxr what about it was horseshit? They saved their countries economies. I am saying this as an economics graduate. Look at the US economy in the 70s. It was a wreck. Reagan healed it. Britain was even worse and Thatcher saved the economy there too
good old times when people were proud of their governments and countries
like the Syrians
Both these leaders taught how to do that again. And why it was important.
We are proud ours country always 😊
Thatcher was and is a very controvercial figure, keep thqt in mind. Also, if you take a look at official occasions such as this in the modern day, you'll see plenty of pagentry like this, too.
Yea because the USSR sure did love it when the Tsar’s ruled Russia 🙄.
Its called respect for the USA and Britain
You are right. Brits & Yanks are together through Thick n Thin. Even as history shows some things we went into, were misguided, we still went in together. I'm an American & I love the UK.
unlike the forthcoming trade deal
These two countries have contributed the most to humanity. No one can deny it. Two from same scion.
Obinna Osuagwu I’d say Ancient Greece, pre-Communist China, France and Germany could give them a run for their money, but those two are definitely up there, and it’s particular impressive for a country that hasn’t even existed for 250 years yet
Clemandax both overrated and handed their victories on a plate by Democrats and Labour who had lost their way. Decent radical centrists would have obliterated them.
At 19 years old, the first president I voted for ‼️ never will forget it! I was so proud ‼️
It’s so easy to see just how much these two great leaders had true admiration for each other.
The sheer class of these two titans and their supporting spouses - everyone is immaculately dressed, follows protocol to the letter, great respect for each other and each other's countries. Both Thatcher and Reagan were great communicators as well as statesmen. Each came from relatively humble backgrounds and neither was ever expected to lead anything much, let alone their countries, yet they did and did so brilliantly and steadfastly and hugely successfully. We haven't seen their like since and probably won't again.
Perfectly put.
🇬🇧🇺🇸
just what i was thinking
All this lost within short 30 years.
@@masterscubaman 90
Thats would be a blessing
They clearly had a genuine love and warmth for each other.. strong leaders much missed
Amen
The guards of the free world. I salute you. From Sweden.
+1.
I personally thank you for showing your respect for the respectful, peace-loving, and strong-willed leaders!
@@xshxr huh, does some damn economics matter? One hell of a dumbass
By "guards of the free world" does that include the times they supported fascist regimes, when Thatcher funded illegal paramilitary squads in the North and when Reagan basically caused the crack epidemic to fund his wars?
Back at the times where leaders were pride of their nations.
Gorbachev: realizing two of his best friends hang out without him
*Gorbachev proceeds to cry in Glasnost*
@Dr. Valentin Narcisse Putin took a path to friendship with President Trump though
@Spenser McKee don’t care what the Russians do as long as they don’t threaten war with the US honestly
Gorbachev deserves more respect. He should be remembered as one of the great leaders of our time along with Reagan and Thatcher
It’s ok he got revenge by going to Pizza Hut without them 😒
Remember when the President and Prime Minister were classy?
If you watch "debates" with that Thatcher in the house of commons, she destroys labour mps. It's like the wild west there. Not saying it wasn't great, just not classy as you think it is.
Trump is alright lol BJ not so much.
Cyrus Cheng In what world could Trump possibly be considered classy? Even if you like him policy wise, the man is anything but classy.
@@sumvs5992 She was a nasty cruel woman to the working class
@@RobertK1993 okay...wasn't making any points about her directly though.
I was a teenager living in Soviet Russia when they started out in the beginning of the decade. I was 21 when this was happening in 1988. I held these two in the highest respect. Miss them both today. Miss the time when leaders were LEADERS, when their word meant something.
Yes Andre men were real men
Right on the Money Andre.
@@jerrycooper1428 I miss these special people more than words can say. My three daughters were impressed by these two when I was teaching the girls XXth century history during our homeschooling classes. One of my oldest daughter's favorite movies is THE IRON LADY. They should make a movie about Mr. Reagan someday. What an amazing person!
@@andrefurman9389 I understand what you are saying. However, although Thatcher was excellent on an international level the downside was, she deindustrialized and smashed British industry. This left thousands out of work and turned our economy into a consumer/service economy, which the British are now paying for years later.
@@jerrycooper1428 Yep, she was a human being with ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses. Not idializing her one bit. Having survived the Soviet Russia and currently living under a rather .... interesting regime here, I can say, I wish we had at least one political leader of her caliber.
Reagan and Thatcher 2 of the world's greatest leaders ever to stand in toe
Mahathir Mohamad is still alive. He’s got good genes and has hardly aged. If Margaret Thatcher had good genes she would’ve lived beyond 87 and still be alive.
@@syedhoque8009 he's an evil corrupt tyrant
The eighties were the best. Every minute Maggie was the great PM of Great Britain.
@@martinjenkins5471 what about churchill
@Avoy American racing
I am deeply grateful to them for my release from the Soviet concentration camp.
Grandpa Roni and Grandma Margaret - thank you for my freedom!
Reagan and Thatcher were the embodiment of the Power Couple. And how handsome they looked, together.
@@graeglobe You mean Biden and Feinstein... BTW that corpse died again 2 week ago with her Zombie sister Smellosi...
This was barely two months before he left office and two years before she also left office. It was one last shot with two amazing leaders.
CT CT ç
Two of the very best. RIP to them both.
This man was incredible... God bless him and God bless our country.
Note Thatcher's "I shall never forget." Reagan often said "I will always remember."
Wow what respect they had for each others countries boy do we need them now instead of the rejects in power at the moment
You've got that right - the fist rate reject from Hades called Biden and Harris!
While Biden is by no means good, and Boris similarly, at least they start the crack epidemic or fund paramilitary death squads, respectively, or both support fascist governments.
You've got Joe.
We've got Bo-Jo 🤡
@@seamuswagner3458hopefully they didn’t fund bombing innocent people in pubs too
She fought against overpaying the EU.Same as the US is fighting overpaying all these organisations.
Naturally pleasant personality, how he carried himself with such grace, I can't see any one who could match his presence, President Reagan the world misses you !
PM Thatcher, (the Iron Lady) & Pres Reagan, two powerful and classy leaders❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ We Americans loved them both
We brits didn't love her..
The Malaysians love Mrs Thatcher.
Many Brits did; she put the Great back into Britain and we've not had a leader like her since.
And President Reagan certainly made the USA great again. He was a true friend to Britain.
@@richardrobinson9930 delusional
Madam Butterfly 😃
One of the greatest legacies of these two leaders is how the respect for them and our fellow man/woman even today, is shown in the comments below. There is no doubt that those days were better and that common sense, decency and respect were ingrained into the vast majority of people. God bless them both!
I was but a child, but my respect for these two then and now is massive it made me the British Conservative I am
AMEN!
What A speech by Lady Thacher !! She was A Great Prime Minister of UK no one has come close to her believes and strength, there will not be one like her...RIP great Lady.
Margaret gave me goosebumps hearing her speak after so long. Didn't agree with everything she did, but wow, what poise.
did you become tumescent?
she was one of the most loyalty woman in the world. she had respect for all the nations
President Reagan was the age of Joe biden when Reagan left office. This speech was given at the end of his presidency. Look at how composed and in complete control of his faculties this man is, and compare that to the sad spectacle of Biden just last friday at the Historically black college in NC. If you cannot see a difference, then I cannot help you.
How lucky we were that two such people, and, fortuitously, Gorbachev, should come to power all at the same time. They changed the world. Makes you so proud to watch this again.
It was Mikhail Gorbachev who changed the world by being credited for ending the Cold War.
As an independent 🇬🇧 our countries will work together in making this a better world!UNITED FOREVER 🇬🇧🇺🇸
As an independent 🇬🇧, soon to be 🏴, you have now made yourself completely irrelevant and are rapidly heading down the toilet.
Mrs Thatcher was the greatest UK peace time PM in my 84 yrs, there was a great bond between these two world leaders that lasted their life time.
They made a film ` The Iron Lady ` - The film was awful, it concentrated more on her later illness with dementia, whoever made the film was no fan of Mrs Thatcher, god bless her memory.
I agree it was sickening going on about the dementia. She was the best U.K. PM since the end of world war two.
What did you expect from Godless lefties .
I won't be watching it
This is why, in the crown, I really wish they would pay attention to the relationship between QE2 and Margaret more than the dementia bit.
She was an excellent 'war' time leader too - quite the formidable woman!
what a dream team they were. we miss them dearly.
Don’t forget John Paul was a part of that team.

Here after the Crown season 4. 💜
Wow!! Could we ever use Reagan and Thatcher now!!
USA and UK bond are timeless. God bless the two nations
The UK is still the Mother country.
@@tommyhunter1817 UK is still the 'Queen Mother' for common wealth (including USA) .....
@@tommyhunter1817 yes that what I tell people too
We will always be apart of the UK in historic and blood ties.
Two giants. What a time to be alive.
And to think the press and the libs called Reagan stupid. It was literally the only thing they could do while he transformed the world for the better.
Nonsense. I am as liberal as they come and I think Reagan was one of the greatest President's of my lifetime. He united the country. It's unfortunate that today we have such a divisive imbecile in the white house.
oakpkdude then you’re rare. You liberals are some of weirdest people on the planet, your beliefs are all over the place lol
@@oakpkdude who? The closeted Muslim homosexual with the transgender wife and a fake birth certificate
Now that I am old enough to have seen this twice. I fully comprehend the lies and imminent danger that the left poses
@@oakpkdude It's the Dems that have created this division.
Extraordinary times, two world leaders from such modest backgrounds.
When i look at this it takes me back to those days. I was 12 years old and i quite vividly remember this president and era.
One of the most loved POTUS ever, and very funny...
In his memoirs he recalls a state visit from the president of France Mr Mitterand, in the banquet in his honor hosted by him in white house, per protocol Nancy escorted Mitterand to his place, then Reagan stepped up to Mitterand's wife and asked her to follow him to their table, she wouldn't move, and spoke something unintelligible in French, after much trying there was no success, a translator was called urgently, he listened to Mitterand's wife and conveyed her words to Reagan, "Madam says you are standing on her gown".
That's so funny, thanks for that👍
the joke was on Reagan
As per Jeremy Clarkson: “shut up you Frenchie cheese eating bastard”
He was an outstanding raconteur.
The two greatest post-war leaders of their respective countries.
The Dynamic Duo!!! My Commander In Chief while i served, for nearly 3 years of my 4 years of service. Probably the greatest decade of my life.
President Reagan putting hand on heart during the British anthem and PM Thatcher doing so for the U.S anthem, showed the enormous respect and deep relationship both nations and their leaders had for each other during that time. I look forward to PM Johnson and President Trump forging one just as close in 2020, as both Great Britain and the United States once again spearhead a new vision for the west. God bless the United States, God save the Queen.
2 Great Leaders, 2 Great countries, sighted 1 mentor @ 3:14 in Billy Graham and also the British Anthem with the gun salute undertone gave me goose bumbs. I must confess that British Anthem is short but awesome.
Reagan is the best modern president!
Also no other president looks better in a suit. 😉
@@lizpitula2471 Kennedy wore Italian suits
Was !
Total class & respect. I was a kid growing up when these two were PM and POTUS so I don't remember much, but what I do know is we need more of this.
Reagan hand on heart during God Save the Queen. wow.
One of the greatest Prime Minister in UK history

Maybe not so much if you're Scottish, but that's another debate - aside from that I appreciate the historical interest of those times - not to mention that politicians of all colours seemed to have more decorum than the clowns that we currently have!

btw ... Thatcher did it too as the US plays
I so miss them both. The world was so very fortunate that their leaderships coincided.
Thank you very much! Timely at this present day.
We could do with both now.

This was true patriotism.
Relatives from across the pond in deep solidary, kindness and friendship.
I think she had a crush on him !
She adored him, he respected her a great deal - some would call them potlical soul mates..
And vice versa
Really .
Fantastic video. Two legends.
The fact that he holds his hand to his chest to the British national anthem really does show how much of a class act he is legend
What a great part of our American history! Two absolutely exceptional world leaders! “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?”
This should be shown in every school and university in this country! True class, dignity and honor amongst friends and allies. I pray we can get back to this. Agree with their policies or not, these two were giants among men!
Great video. Thank you very much for the upload. God bless you all.
How are you can we be friends?
These Two were Great !
As a British citizen when ronald and wee Margaret sits talking it makes me realise that Britain and America are the true defenders of freedom god bless America and God save the Queen
Reagan was a great leader and I always praise him, although I'm Iranian.

Beautiful speeches in this day of mourning for my 25 years old
Those were the days. We were so strong. UK Veteran
Notice no one knelt during the playing of the American national anthem, true Patriots (blacks included). Today's youths could learn a lot from these folks.
Two legends who really deserved their places in history.
i enjoy watching your video. It is great. I cant wait to see your next one. 👍🏻😊!
Those were the days when America was in its best with the robust Reaganomics and in UK the incredible Iron Lady Margareth Thatcher two perfect
match in statesmanship of extra ordinary calibre.
Oh we could really do with both of them now. God bless them. Great leaders strong and proud and the two greatest nations that’s ever existed on this planet.

Ronald Reagan was boldest president of America met the boldest prime Minister of united Kingdom
Nice visit and nice meeting
RIP Iron Lady and Ron. 2 great leaders :-)
We had this grown ups and patriots in power how have we come to what we have now its shameless and sad
I'm amazed that Trump was voted into office, the Electorate must be simple minded, he's a clown, like Boris, but at least he is educated
I'm amazed that Sleepy Joe Biden and radical left Kamala Harris got voted in! They are just awful, and he is raising taxes of the middle class and the poor, halting a wall that prevents ILLEGAL folks from breaching our borders, and will suck the life right out of this country, as we all laid dead and dying from the pandemic which will NEVER be over, even with somewhat effective vaccines.
Thank you so much 💓 Mr. President Reagan ❤
Thank you so much Lady baroness Thatcher.
This was like 15 years before 9/11, when the world was a completely different place.
Less than 13 years in fact..
Yet it feels like more than 33...!
@@wizardatmath Just think that this is closer to 9/11 than we are to 9/11...
As to the world being a completely different place, sadly, it does seem like a long time ago, but it really wasn’t, considering how short life really is. I only wish I had been older than a teenager and a person in her early 20s during Reagan’s presidency so that I could have appreciated it more at the time!

Mrs. T’s speech made me cry a little--I hope the UK appreciates her the way we cherish President Reagan…they were basically the same person anyway--I’d be proud to have had a PM with the Iron Fist nickname. Both standing on the stage…just wow…
