Hundreds gather in spontaneous celebrations in London, Glasgow and Bristol on the day former Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's death was announced.

Although there had been talk for some years of gatherings to take place after the passing of the former Conservative leader, as the event happened people emerged onto the streets rather quickly.

In London hundreds of people took over the street in Brixton as soundsystems played dub and 80s tunes. Riot police and dogs were deployed as revellers attempted to party in the street later in the evening...

...but not before the famous RItzy cinema sign was detourned.

Meanwhile in Scotland, hundreds gathered to drink, dance, and let off smoke bombs in a Glasgow square...

While in Easton, Bristol, crowds took over the streets for an impromptu party, lighting fires and chanting 'Maggie Maggie Maggie, dead dead dead'. One police officer was hospitalised when riot police attempted to break up the celebrations...

There were also reports of celebrations in Leeds.

A party is reportedly planned for London's Trafalgar Square on Saturday 13th April 2013.
