City-elected political titan retires at 86

The 86-year-old's departure from the upper house was announced as peers returned to Westminster this week after the summer recess.

Lord Owen was first elected to what was then Plymouth Sutton and remained in the Commons until 1992, when he was appointed a life peer and took a seat in the unelected house. He served as Foreign Secretary from 1977 to 1979 in James Callaghan's Labour government. At the time, he was the youngest person to hold the post since Anthony Eden in 1935.
