Dame Stella Rimington, former MI5 director general, dies at 90

Dame Stella Rimington, MI5’s first female manager, died.

Dame Stella, who chaired the service from 1992 to 1996, was accepted as a model for Dame Judi Dench in James Bond films.

In 1969, he joined the MI5 in full time, and a year later he served as Deputy General Manager in 1991 before he was promoted to the General Manager.

When he was first, he was the first to be defined – and when he published a photo of a newspaper house, he and his family had to move to a secret place for their own protection.

After leaving the service, Dame Stella started a career as a novelist.

In a statement, his family said: “Surrounded by his beloved family and dogs, he died and decisively held his beloved life until his last breath.”
