The banner under the picture in the article says it's a garden party at a friend's house in Hampshire and the man sitting next to her is Conor Burns, Tory MP for Bournemouth West. The rest of the article is paywalled though so that's as much as I can get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 645 Posted August 26 Hungarian composer Franz Liszt in March 1886, four months before his death. He was something of an immortal among composers, he outlived almost all of his contemporaries and lived quite a long life for a composer, reaching the age of 74 despite being in ill health for around seven years at that point. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,913 Posted August 26 Some Finnish names: Urho Kekkonen (1900-1986), President 1956-1982. Undated but after 1982: Hilja Aaltonen (1907-2013), evangelist/"prophet" She spent her last 4-9 years in a care home/in hospital and died at 105. With her is priest Päivö Parviainen who lived to 102. Both still have somewhat of a cult of followers here. Matti Nykänen (1963-2018), one of the most succesful ski jumpers: Very well known fact for anyone who's heard the name before that he was a mess for most of his life and died from pancreatitis and pneumonia at 55. Siiri "Äitee" Rantanen (1924-2023), olympic cross-country skiing women's 3 × 5 kilometre relay gold medalist of 1956, days or weeks before her death at 98: Her son had died two weeks earlier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
