The Telegraph obituaries are a wonderful chronicle of our times - almost a roman fleuve - part John Aubrey, part Anthony Powell, part P.G. Wodehouse. This obituary of Sir Anthony Montague Browne, Churchill's last private secretary is a very good one.
Readers know that my favourite obituary was that of Denisa, Lady Newborough, wire-walker, nightclub girl, nude dancer, air pilot and uninhibited memoirist.
