Lady Benda

I saw this in the paper on 25-sep and I wondered... Lady Milverton... if there was a link to Britt's grandmother-in-law, who I met just once, at Britt's wedding 15 years ago. The family always spoke of her as "Lady Bender" (which puzzled me - an unlikely aristo name) - now I know it was "Lady Benda". Then I read Daisy's blog which led via Google to a fascinating group of articles:

• Age Concern saves the day
• Britain's longest-serving Poppy Appeal collector Lady Milverton dies aged 105
• Noelle Benda Whitehead
