THE COUNTESS OF IVEAGH

The Friends have suffered a sad loss with the untimely death of Miranda, Countess of Iveagh, Vice-President of the FNCI for many years.

We particularly remember her great charm and hard work, as she escorted members around the great houses of Wiltshire (whose owners she had persuaded to open their doors for us ) in April, 2007 on the occasion of the Friends' visit.

Council are extremely pleased that the family connection with the Friends is being maintained with her son, Edward, the Earl of Iveagh, agreeing to become a Vice-President.
