SIR MAX HASTINGS
Max Hastings will, perhaps, be best remembered for being the first journalist to enter Port Stanley during the Falklands War.
He has also distinguished himself as a military historian, and was editor of both the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
In his memoirs, he has written about the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of great events
and the daily routine of editing one of the great British broadsheets.
A keen proponent of the countryside, he was made President of the Council for the Protection of Rural England in 2002 - and in the same year received his knighthood.
