Rest in peace, Lord Bath

Kate Humble presented the show, which ran from 2000-09, and said she was ‘very sad’ to hear of his death. She tweeted: ‘Everyone will describe him as eccentric – and he was, gloriously so – but he was also kind & fun – and we all need a bit of kindness & fun in our lives.’

He married Emma Gael in 1969 and had two children, but in a 2010 Guardian interview he also acknowledged that he had ‘an eight-year-old but I don’t see enough of her’. After inheriting the Marquess seat in 1992, he then sat as a Liberal Democrat in the House of Lords but lost his seat when Labour reforms excluded most hereditary peers.Thynn had been a keen painter and had studied art in Paris in his youth.

Oh that is sad. I liked watching his interviews on the telly and what he did on his estate bu turning it into an animal safari park. Sad. 😥

Where are the write-ups of the ordinary people who have died? We are not even told their names by the disgraceful government and press!

He abused women and refused to attend his son’s wedding because his daughter in law is mixed race. A real charmer.
