Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn passes away in London today.
One of the United Kingdom's longest serving politicians died earlier today in London. He liked
to be known as Tony Benn but his full name was Anthony Neil Wedgwood
Benn.
His father was William Wedgwood Benn b. May 1877 and
his parents in turn were John Benn and Lily Pickstone. The name
Wedgwood entered the family because Lily was a distant relative of
Josiah I. To learn more about the amazing Tony Benn, google around, Wikipedia has a nice article about him. Another in a long line of Wedgwoods who have taken life by the horns and run with it, stirring up the dust as they went, just like our beloved Josiah I and our friend, the late Piers, Lord Wedgwood of Barlaston. May Tony rest in peace and love. Thank you to Lord Pulford of Scotland, really a Brit not a Scot, for alerting me to this latest death in the greater Wedgwood world.
I have just found an interesting blog entry regarding Mr. Benn which gives more biographical information about his family. See it here.
