Sir Ranulph's Triumph

Heartiest congratulations to Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bt, OBE, 65, who has just ascended the summit of Mount Everest.

Perhaps our greatest adventurer, Sir Ranulph's intrepid achievements have been inspirational and hugely admirable.

Sir Ranulph Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes is the 3rd Baronet. His grandfather, the Hon Sir Eustace Fiennes, 2nd son of the Lord Saye and Sele, was a politician and erstwhile Governor of the Seychelles.
