Peter Alexander Rupert Carington,

Alec Douglas-Home and Edward Heath. Following the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the House of Lords, Carrington was created a life peer
as Baron Carington of Upton, of Upton in the County of Nottinghamshire.

Carrington was Foreign Secretary in 1982 when the

Foreign and Commonwealth Office to foresee this and resigned. As Secretary General of NATO, he helped prevent a war between Greece and Turkey in 1987.[4]

Background, education and military career

Born in

independent schools: Sandroyd School[7] from 1928–1932, at the time based in the town of Cobham, Surrey (now the site of Reed's School), and Eton College, followed by the Royal Military College, Sandhurst
.

Following Sandhurst, Carrington was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards as a second lieutenant on 26 January 1939.[8] He served with the regiment during the Second World War, he was promoted lieutenant on 1 January 1941,[9] and later rose to the rank of temporary captain and acting major, and was awarded the Military Cross (MC) on 1 March 1945.[10] After the war, Carrington remained in the army until 1949.[11]

Political career 1946–1982

In 1938, Carrington succeeded

Privy Counsellor in 1959.[14]

All Saints Church, Canberra

After his return to Britain he served under

Irish republican internees during Operation Demetrius in August 1971, the then Home Secretary Merlyn Rees attributed the origins of the policy in particular to Carrington: '"It is my view (confirmed by Brian Faulkner before his death [NI's prime minister at the time]) that the decision to use methods of torture in Northern Ireland in 1971/72 was taken by ministers – in particular Lord Carrington, then secretary of state for defence."[16][17]

Carrington had become Shadow Defence Secretary in 1968 following the dismissal of

Secretary of State for Energy
from January to March 1974.

Carrington (then Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs) and Alexander Haig (then US Secretary of State) meeting during visit of Margaret Thatcher to the United States

Carrington was again Leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords from 1974 to 1979. In 1979 he was made

Foreign and Commonwealth Office to foresee this development and resigned. Ministerial resignations in such circumstances are rare, and Carrington's attracted animated press discussion of the principles involved; it may be no coincidence that he had in 1954 been junior minister to Thomas Dugdale at the time of the latter's landmark resignation as Minister of Agriculture over the Crichel Down affair, and had then himself offered his resignation but been persuaded to withdraw it.[citation needed
]

Later career

Lord Carrington then served as Secretary General of NATO from 1984 to 1988. He was also appointed Chancellor of the Order of St Michael and St George on 1 August 1984,[21] serving until June 1994.[22]

In 1991, he presided over diplomatic talks about the break-up of the

former Yugoslavia
and attempted to pass a plan that would end the wars and result in each republic becoming an independent nation.

Apart from his political posts, he was the Chancellor of the

Bilderberg conferences for several years in the late 1990s, being succeeded in 1999 by Étienne Davignon.[23] From 1983 to 2002, he was president of the Pilgrims Society.[24][25] He was appointed Chancellor of the Order of the Garter on 8 November 1994,[26] a role from which he retired in October 2012.[27]

After the

Privy Council after The Duke of Edinburgh
.
