The Duke (12A)

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly, having long campaigned for hard up pensioners to receive free television licences. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge – an uplifting and amusing story about a good man who set out to change the world and managed to save his marriage.
