I was extremely moved on reading this obituary and really pleased that she had been honoured in this way. I love the comment she made to the policeman - I wonder if he went home and told his mum? grin

What an amazing woman.
I am reminded of the quotation from A Midsummer Night's Dream, perhaps Shakespeare knew a little left wing firebrand in his day too.
"Though she be but little, she is fierce"
