Tara Browne

Tara Browne was a young London socialite and issue of peerage as a member of the Irish aristocratic family of Oranmore & Browne, whose untimely death in 1966 was immortalized in the song "A Day in the Life" by John Lennon of The Beatles.

Browne was the son of Dominick Browne, the 4th Baron Oranmore and Browne, a member of the House of Lords since 1927 who later became famous for having served in that house longer than any other peer, finally being evicted during government reforms in 1999; and Oonagh Guinness, heiress to the Guinness fortune and the youngest of the three "Golden Guinness Girls". One of his older brothers was the Hon. Garech Browne, of Luggala, County Wicklow in Ireland, an enthusiast of traditional Irish music and a founding member of The Chieftains, Ireland's leading group of traditional musicians.
