Michael William Coplestone...

...Dillon Onslow, the seventh Earl of Onslow, died in England at age 73.

Lord Onslow was also, among other things, the seventh Viscount Cranley, 10th Baron Onslow and 11th Baronet of West Clandon.

A nominal Conservative and a constitutional contrarian, Lord Onslow continued a family tradition of parliamentary service begun in the 16th century. “I don’t know what Tory policy is on virtually anything,” he told The Daily Telegraph in 2004. “And I’d probably disagree with it even if I did.”

It's true; there'll always be an England.
