Tony Blair’s tribute to Lord David Triesman

David was a vital part of the New Labour movement and became in time a great friend. Passionate about the cause, whether the Labour Party or football, he was deeply committed to making change to improve people’s lives. Unwavering in his loyalty and dedication, he was someone both liked and admired by those who had the privilege of working with him. He was a gentle, genuine, good guy who put others before himself naturally and without hesitation. My profound condolences to Lucy and all his family.
