'Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has addressed both houses of British Parliament, an honour usually only given to heads of state.
Burma's pro-democracy leader talked of the years she spent living in Burma and in Oxford during her speech at Westminster Hall in London.
The 67-year-old Nobel Laurete recieved a standing ovation on arrival and was heralded for her bravery and guidance to humanity.
Suu Kyi is in Britain as part of a 17-day tour of Europe. This included a return trip to Oxford, where she once lived to recieve an honourary doctorate.
The Burma opposition leader warned the country is entering its most difficult period.
'We have an opportunity to reestablish true democracy in Burma. It is an opportunity for which we have waited decades,' she said.
'If we do not get things right this time right round, it may be several decades more before a similar opportunity arises again.'
