Growing up, David Cameron saw his mother as a formidable woman: "She was quite sort of punchy, very beautiful, very loving. But she was a strong character, and my friends… were slightly in awe of her."
A mother of four and a magistrate for 30 years, Mary Cameron commanded respect both at home and in her community in the village of Peasemore, in Berkshire. "She had that sort of slight aura of being an authority figure, and in her prime, obviously was super bright, a great bridge player, smart and well informed," says her son.
