The Evening Standard is reporting that Baroness Thatcher is "determined" to attend the unveiling of a ten foot bronze statue of Ronald Reagan on 4th July.
Lady Thatcher hasn't made any public appearances for some time and her absence from the public stage has fuelled sometimes wild expectation about her health.
The statue will be unveiled at a ceremony to be attended by the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, and the former US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.
Beneath the statue of America's 40th President will be the words, "Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot."
It will stand in Grosvenor Square near the American Embassy and statues of Dwight Eisenhower and Franklin D Roosevelt. The Embassy is actually moving premises next year but the statues will stay behind, claiming a little part of London for America's greatest presidents.
