Sir
John William Kay (

Privy Council from
2000 until his death.
Growing up near
Liverpool, he was educated at
Denstone College and subsequently studied
mathematics at
Christ's College at the
University of Cambridge before switching to law. A keen
rugby enthusiast he played for
Waterloo Rugby Club in his youth and later became club president, he'd the satisfaction of seeing his son

On the Court of Appeal he upheld the conviction of mass murderer

Sally Clark, accused of killing her two young sons, and dismissed the posthumous appeal in the name of the executed
Ruth Ellis on largely technical grounds.
