Lady Annabel Goldsmith, the socialite and campaigner who gave her name to a famous 1960s London nightclub, has died aged 91. Lady Annabel was the mother of six children from her two marriages, including Zac, who was Conservative MP for Richmond Park for eight years and who ran for mayor of London in 2016. Her youngest child Ben said she was "quite simply irreplaceable". He added: "We are bereft, not for her – because her life has been extraordinary and complete – but for us, because of the immense hole in our lives she leaves behind." Mr Goldsmith said: "I spoke to her every day for 45 years, she truly had my back and we loved each other very much. I will miss her terribly." Annabel's, which was opened by her first husband in 1963 and was one of London's first modern nightclubs, was named in her honour.
