FILE - In this June 8, 1982 file photo, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, on Centennial, and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, on Burmese, go horseback riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle, England. It is not often that the president of the United States needs to seek fashion advice. But when Ronald Reagan was getting ready for a visit to England as a guest of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1982, his people had an important question for the Brits: Just what does one wear to go riding with the queen in the magnificent horse country surrounding Windsor Castle? The answer: Something smart, but casual, of course. Riding boots, breeches and a turtleneck sweater would do fine _ no need for formal riding attire. The fashion inquiry is but one tidbit contained in nearly 500 pages of formerly Confidential documents relating to the Reagan visit being made public Friday, Dec. 28, 2012 by Britainâs National Archives.

FILE - In this April 14, 1982 file photo, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher leaves her official 10 Downing Street residence in London, for an emergency session of Parliament on the Falklands crisis. She called it, simply, the worst moment of her life. It came in March 1982 during the days before the Falklands War, after Argentina established an unauthorized presence on Britainâs South Georgia island amid talk of a possible invasion of the Falklands, long held by Britain. The vivid picture of Thatcherâs feelings of helplessness and rage, and eventual resolve are portrayed in thousands of pages of formerly Secret documents released by the National Archives on Friday, Dec. 28, 2012.

This E-FIT image (Electronic Facial Identification Technique) provided by the Metropolitan Police on Dec. 7, 2012 show a computer-based face of a man whom British police are trying to identify after his body was found near London's Heathrow Airport in September. Police believe he was from Africa, probably from Angola, but they don't know his identity, or how to notify his next of kin. The apparent stowaway had no identification papers - just some currency from Angola, leading police to surmise that he was from that African nation, especially as inquiries showed that a plane from Angola was beginning its descent into Heathrow at about that time.
