To mark the 200th anniversary of The Westmorland Gazette in 2018, we are publishing a photograph from our archives on our website every day this year.

Today's photograph shows Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher chatting with six-year-old Robert Jackson during a visit to Furness General Hospital in 1986.
