Lord Lucan (inset) vanished after Sandra Rivett, nanny to his three children, was found murdered at the family home in central London in November 1974. His disappearance sparked numerous theories and there have been reported sightings in Australia, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand, and even claims that he fled to India and lived life as a hippy called 'Jungly Barry'. His son George Bingham (left, with wife Anne-Sofie Foghsgaard) applied under new laws, so he can inherit the title as 8th Earl. At a hearing in December, Miss Rivett's son Neil Berriman (right) was given permission to intervene in the case. Judge, Mrs Justice Asplin, granted the death certificate in the case in London today. Speaking after the decision Mr Berriman, 49, said: 'I think he's (Lucan) dead. It is fantastic and I am very pleased for him (Bingham).'
