Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox, 10th Duke of Richmond, whose son founded the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival, has died at the age of 87.

The Duke was educated at Eton College and William Temple College, a now defunct Church of England theological college, before training as a chartered accountant and moving into the corporate world.

He and his wife Susan Monica Grenville-Grey, the Countess of March, attracted attention when they adopted two girls of mixed race in the 1960s at a time when anti-immigrant sentiment was running high and the interracial relationships were frowned upon.
