Where are they now?

This is my first port to this list, so be gentle, folks!

I've been reading the Gerry Donaldson biography of James Hunt, and I've always had a "racing teddy" sticker on every car I've ever owned. I was wondering what happened to Lord Teddy Hesketh? He seemed to drop out of sight after Hunt left. Where is he now? Did he pass away?

Thanks in advance,
keke

Recently photographed 'persuading' a bunch of anti-hunt protesters to leave the front steps of his property. [A portico almost as ample as the good lord's girth. If you thought he was portly in the '70s you should see him now...]

I believe he's one of the few hereditary peers left who actually sits in the Lords, and did a rather good job as a Conservative spokesman in Parliament

He Chaired the BRDC for a while until the politics became too stupid. He's a big player, still has the Towcester horse race circuit and stuff.
