I've been a bit behind the times this week; however, I noticed in a paper last night that the Rev Ian Paisley, 2nd First Minister of Northern Ireland, has chosen his title as the Right Honourable Ian Richard Kyle Baron Bannside PC. The barony is a life peerage and is non-hereditary.
The title was revealed on the 18th June and Lord Bannside will be introduced in to the House of Lords on the 5th July, 2010.
Lady Bannside has a life barony in her own right as the Baroness Paisley of St George's.
Lord and Lady Bannside's five children are all entitled to use the prefix "Honourable" before their names.
