Betty Boothroyd was a breath of fresh air as Speaker of the House of Commons.
I've enjoyed reading the tributes to her. A dancer, MP and Speaker, what a life!
She was more than able to hold her own and some of her "put downs" towards the "boys" were superb! A charismatic lady who said it how it was, shot from the hip and remained true to her Yorkshire roots.
R.I.P., Madam.
