Ronald Reagan

Foreign Secretary William Hague and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will attend the US Embassy in London to reveal the 10-foot bronze figure.

Ms Rice is representing the late president's widow Nancy Reagan at the ceremony, which coincides with the US Independence Day celebrations.
He joins the ranks of great men and women whose statues adorn our London streets; Nelson, Wellington, Lincoln, Churchill, Roosevelt, Edith Cavell and Nelson Mandela.
Mr Hague said: "As a Briton, as a Conservative and as a passionate admirer of America, I am proud that we have made a home here in the centre of our city for President Ronald Reagan.
"Statues bring us to face to face with our heroes long after they are gone.
"Ronald Reagan is without question a great American hero; one of America’s finest sons, and a giant of 20th Century history. You may be sure that the people of London will take this statue to their hearts."
Mr Hague said Baroness Thatcher could not be at the unveiling because of ill health. But he read out the speech she would have made.

"Ronald Reagan was a great President and a great man - a true leader for our times," wrote Baroness Thatcher.
"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.”
The statue of Mr Reagan was commissioned as part of a year of celebrations to mark what would have been the 100th birthday of the former US president.
It will stand alongside existing statues of other illustrious American presidents such as Dwight Eisenhower and Franklin D Roosevelt.
Although the embassy is moving from its central London home next year, the statues will remain at their current Grosvenor Square location.
Ms Rice will give the keynote speech at a gala dinner for 700 people at The Guildhall later in the day.
She is to explore the special relationship between the US and the UK and the relevance of Mr Reagan and Lady Thatcher's ''freedom agenda'', before Mr Hague replies.
The statue was commissioned by the Reagan Memorial Fund Trust. Rob Bauer, director of external affairs at the foundation, said: ''President Reagan always referred to the United States' special relationship with Great Britain, especially his personal friendship with Baroness Thatcher.
''The Reagan Foundation commissioned the statue to honour that partnership and to celebrate an enduring alliance.''
Mr Reagan died in 2004 at the age of 93, having served as US president between 1981 and 1989.
To acknowledge Mr Reagan's contribution to the end of the Cold War, a piece of the Berlin Wall will be installed in front of the statue.
Lady Thatcher once said he had ''a higher claim than any other leader to have won the Cold War for liberty and he did it without a shot being fired''.
