Lord Rossmore, the Irish society photographer, has died aged 90.
He could not have been a more different suitor for 1960s It girl Marianne Faithfull than her former partner, the Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, but Patrick Paddy Rossmore, the 7th Baron Rossmore, somehow captured her heart during a brief romance at Glin Castle in 1970. Within days, the couple, whose age gap was 16 years, were engaged, though it never produced a marriage.
