Notes |
- She was the founder and first President of the British Red Cross branch in Derry. It was, as part of a lifelong dedication to healing community strife in Northern Ireland, that she agreed to host, with her husband, Colonel Sir Michael, at her family home in 1972 secret peace talks between the British Government and the Provisional IRA, whose delegation included Gerry Adams.
