PETER BEARD




After reports of his disappearing, Peter Beard (82) was found dead in the grounds of his property some three weeks later. Muse for artist Francis Bacon, artist, diarist, socialite, wildlife photographer and advocate, larger than life bon viveur and unique man of the world we will not see his like again.

Beard trampled by a rogue elephant being taken to hospital in the back of a car, his internal injuries so bad he wasn't expected to survive.
