The new Duke of Grafton is only 6 days younger that the Duke of
Hamilton (b 31 March 1978) which makes him currently the youngest
holder of a dukedom. Something that is likely to change within the
next couple of weeks, if as expected the Queen makes Prince William a
duke.

A real gathering of the great and the good for the Duke's memorial
service! Including, some would say, the gretest of them all!
Interesting reference to 'Sir Tim (not Timothy)
