Glenys Kinnock: politician, campaigner, and inspiration to many

Minister, MEP and wife of Labour leader Neil, Kinnock, who has died at 79, spoke out on issues from nuclear weapons to apartheid

The campaigner and politician Glenys Kinnock, who died on Sunday with Alzheimer's disease, was born into an activist family in 1944.

Her parents - Cyril Parry, a trade unionist and railway signalman, and Doris Evans - were credited with instilling in their daughter a strong sense of social justice and a love of Wales. She was born in Northamptonshire, but soon afterwards the family moved back to their native Holyhead, where Glenys learned to speak Welsh.
