What inspired you to be involved in this campaign shoot?

At the age of 75, I had never worn a wedding dress, so I was absolutely delighted when asked if I would participate! 

What is your proudest achievement?

Starting my own business as an independent Barristers Clerk and being invited to the House of Lords by Lord Longford to discuss the effects of the set up of my business.

Which women inspire you the most and why?

Margaret Thatcher for her conviction over the Falklands War and becoming the first woman Prime Minister.

This year’s International Women’s Day 2024 theme is #InspireInclusion. What does this mean to you?
