The Daily Mail made its feelings for the three-time election-winning prime minister very clear in its front page that reads, "'The woman who saved Britain". It is a front page, like the politician herself, which is likely to spark debate.
The Sun, uncharacteristically, steered away from grand statements and eulogies on its front page and reported the facts, detailing how the former Premier, who defeated the miners, retook the Falklands, but fell to the poll tax, died of a stroke at 11:28 am at the Ritz hotel.
The Daily Mirror, with an iron-faced picture of Thatcher, reflected the feelings of many with its "The Woman who divided a nation". It also asked if she should be given a ceremonial funeral like Princess Diana.
The Northern Echo also had an elegant summation of the impact that the Conservative Party leader had on Britain with its cover line, "Loved, hated, never forgotten".
Scotland's Daily Record, a left-of-centre stable mate of the Daily Mirror, put it this way, "Scotland will never forget – gone but not forgiven".

On the far reaches of the left the Communist Party Morning Star had no doubts: "The woman who tore Britain apart".
