Lord Judd of Portsea, a man dedicated to justice for all, has died at the age of 86.
In a remarkable career, Frank Judd had a seat in the House of Lords and in the Cabinet, ran Oxfam and VSO and helped set up the World Bank.
But when his work was done, he came home to Cumbria and Thackthwaite, to enjoy the tranquility of his 18th Century cottage and its stunning view of Grassmoor.
During his time here, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the bid to gain World Heritage status for the Lake District.
He served as vice-president of the Council of National Parks and president of Friends of the Lake District.
