| Description | LONDON, England (AP) -- Sir Edward Heath, a former British prime minister defeated in government by pay strikes and in opposition by Margaret Thatcher in the 1970s, died Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 89.
A carpenter's son who broke the tradition of blue bloods leading the British Conservative Party, he was a born politician, and an accomplished yachtsman and musician.
In 1992, he became Sir Edward, a member of the country's most prestigious order of chivalry, the knights of the Garter.
