Obits for Lord King of Wartnaby
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/lord-king-of-wartnaby-498571.html
"His second marriage, to the Hon Isabel Monckton, brought him both
happiness and a position in the orbit of the Royal Family - his wife
taught gardening to the Prince of Wales."
Fascinating obit from the Independent - he married his first boss's
daughter, had an interesting family background (product of a mixed-
marriage and of a humble social background)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1493872/Lord-King-of-Wartnaby.html
Daily Telegraph obit provides more details on Lord King's parents -
father an Army Sergeant, etc., but less interesting overall than the
Independent IMHO
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2005/jul/13/britishairways.obituaries
which gives his parents's names but no details on their religion or
rank or occupation/ work profile!
