FORMER British prime minister Margaret Thatcher is said to be "in good spirits" as she recovers from minor surgery but is expected to spend Christmas in hospital.

The 87-year-old was operated on two days ago to remove a growth from her bladder after suffering pain earlier in the week.

"I understand she is in good spirits," a spokesman said.

"Given her age, I don't think she will be coming out for a few days."

Thatcher's public appearances have been restricted over recent years due to continued ill health.

She was unable to join the Queen for a Diamond Jubilee lunch with former and serving prime ministers this summer and missed a birthday party thrown for her at 10 Downing Street.

In October, Thatcher was sufficiently well, however, to mark her 87th birthday with lunch at a restaurant in London's exclusive St James's district with her son Mark and his wife.

Her health was thrust into the global spotlight this year when Meryl Streep starred in a controversial Hollywood film about her.

The Iron Lady drew criticism from British Prime Minister David Cameron and others for concentrating on the dementia she suffers after a series of small strokes.
