Former Head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove was at the heart of British secret intelligence for nearly 40 years. Having served in posts across the world, he was Head of MI6 during the September 11th attacks and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Codenamed "C", he is only the second holder of that position to be named publicly. He has subsequently expressed concerns over the growth of the use of surveillance in Britain and was, in 2008, asked to testify against allegations that MI6 were involved in the death of Princess Diana.
