I remember this even as it was in 1984-Do you. WPC Yvonne Joyce Fletcher (15 June 1958 – 17 April 1984)[1] was a British police officer fatally shot during a protest outside the Libyan embassy at St. James's Square, London, in 1984. Fletcher, who had been on duty and deployed to police the protest, died shortly afterwards at Westminster Hospital. Her death resulted in the Metropolitan Police Service laying siege to the embassy for the next eleven days, and the United Kingdom severing all diplomatic relations with Libya. Two years later it became a major factor in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's decision to allow US President Ronald Reagan to launch the US bombing of Libya in 1986 from American bases in the United Kingdom.[2] PC Yvonne Fletcher shooting: Libyan man arrested in UK http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34867860 Murder of Yvonne Fletcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Yvonne_Fletcher How strange,early days yet but i remember watching the siege for days and felt so angry. Absolutely hopping mad,felt helpless as we watched this unfold for day after day. Back in 1984. Just went back in my mind to those days.The weather was clear for many days while the siege was ongoing. In April. Following the shooting, the embassy was surrounded by armed police for eleven days, in one of the longest police sieges in London's history. Meanwhile, Gaddafi claimed that the embassy was under attack from British forces, and Libyan soldiers surrounded the United Kingdom's embassy in Tripoli in response Commander Richard Walton, head of counter-terrorism at Scotland Yard, said the force had never given up hope of finding PC Fletcher's killer. For those that cannot recall this day. Libyan Embassy open fire on protesters 1984. Who can remember this from the 80s The Day the SAS knocked on the windows of the Iranian embassy.Strange worrying days as they are now.
