British Ballet Legend Honored in Panama

It's not often a taxi driver speaks gushingly about a ballet dancer, and less often still that a Latin American taxi driver should do so about a British one.

In a more lasting tribute, a bronze bust of Fonteyn has been unveiled in Panama's National Theater.
