Remembering Lord Glenconner, Dimitrios Ioannidis, Lady Anne Tree, Michel Montignac.

Matthew Bannister remembers Lord Glenconner, Dimitrios Ioannidis, Lady Anne Tree, Michel Montignac and Corinne Day.

On Last Word this week:

Lord Glenconner - who, as Colin Tennant, created the island resort of Mustique where rock stars and royalty had their holiday homes.
Brigadier General Dimitrios Ioannidis, the shadowy head of the secret police in Greece who is blamed for provoking the Turkish invasion of Cyprus
The prison reform campaigner Lady Anne Tree, who set up a charity to allow inmates to make money from needlework.
Michel Montignac who created a weight loss diet which allowed you to eat foie gras and chocolate and drink champagne.
