Editorial comments: The bust of MT was unveiled by Harold Macmillan, who "bestowed benedictions all round, with a special prayer for what he jocularly called "the victim". Margaret Thatcher replied: "I hope it will not be long before the victim is the victor" (Sunday Telegraph, 28 January 1979). The most memorable aspect of the occasion was a photograph of MT sitting on the floor beside Macmillan’s chair (Daily Mail, 8 February 1979).
