He then became the UK Chairman of the Consumer Credit Trade Association. He took early retirement and embarked on a completely different career as a tour manager, escorting groups of people to various destinations around the world. During this time he was able to indulge his love of Modern Art, visiting galleries across the globe.

The Lecture:
Grandson of Sigmund and brother of Clement, Lucian Freud is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever painters of the human form. In 2000 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II agreed to his request to paint her portrait, with dramatic consequences.
