RT @jduch: Lord Henry Plumb, President of the European Parliament (1987-1989), died today at the age of 97. He once said he was born British but would die European. A true gentleman and a lifelong advocate for farmers. I joined the EP as young parliamentary assistant during his mandate. RIP
RT @EP_President: Saddened to learn that Lord Henry Plumb, former President of @europarl_en passed away, aged 97.
He will be remembered for his legendary charm, commitment to our shared values, unmatched advocacy for farming & groundbreaking work supporting young farmers.
