Kirstie Allsopp reveals her auctioneer father Charles has died at the age of 83 as the star says she was 'so proud to be his daughter' in moving tribute


The Location, Location, Location star, 52, revealed that Charles, who was the 6th Baron Hindlip, passed away at home on June 5.

He was a great auctioneer, the best of his generation, an artist, a gardener, a father of four, and grandfather of eight, a loving husband to a wife he lost too soon. 'He died at home yesterday, surrounded by love, flowers & photographs, in a house he built, looking out over a stunning garden he created from scratch. Charles was the former chairman of iconic London auction house Christie's until his retirement in 2002, and his peerage means Kirstie is able to use the title 'The Honourable.'
