Lichfield dies at 66 after stroke

PATRICK LICHFIELD, whose charm, royal connections and artistic flair made him one of Britain’s best-known photographers, died yesterday at the age of 66 after suffering a stroke.

For more than 40 years he was almost as famous as the people he photographed, which included rock stars, royalty, the rich and famous and beautiful women in exotic locations.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth was left “deeply saddened” at the sudden death of her first cousin once removed.
