Where are they now?
This is my first port to this list, so be gentle, folks!
I've been reading the Gerry Donaldson biography of James Hunt, and I've always had a "racing teddy" sticker on every car I've ever owned. I was wondering what happened to Lord Teddy Hesketh? He seemed to drop out of sight after Hunt left. Where is he now? Did he pass away? Thanks in advance, keke |

Recently photographed 'persuading' a bunch of anti-hunt protesters to leave the front steps of his property. [A portico almost as ample as the good lord's girth. If you thought he was portly in the '70s you should see him now...]
I believe he's one of the few hereditary peers left who actually sits in the Lords, and did a rather good job as a Conservative spokesman in Parliament |

He Chaired the BRDC for a while until the politics became too stupid. He's a big player, still has the Towcester horse race circuit and stuff.
