Former mayor of London Ken Livingstone is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.
Popular politician Ken Livingstone has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Livingstone, a cultural icon
Born Kenneth Robert Livingstone in London on June 17, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Livingstone's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ken hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ken Livingstone as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.
Happy Birthday, Ken, you're the best!
