Lord Carrington
FORMER foreign secretary Lord Carrington has died at the age of 99.
The Conservative peer famously resigned from Margaret Thatcher's Government in 1982 after accepting responsibility for the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands.
Downing Street described his death as "very sad news", while Theresa May's effective deputy David Lidington paid tribute to a "career spent in public service".
