The late Terry Jones and the late Graham Chapman in Life of Brian
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has paid tribute to Terry Jones who has sadly died aged 77.
While Jones was mostly clean shaven in later life, during his Monty Python years he played some of the most iconic beard wearing roles in recent British TV and cinema.
He had a particularly dramatic beard in Life of Brian for example.
Jones was also associated with other activities related to progressive beard wearing including the Penrhos craft brewery in the 1970s. Former Editor of Tribune Mark Seddon tweeted that he had made financial contributions to the magazine.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, We have lost one of the great comic beard wearers in Terry Jones, a man that allowed people to laugh at hirsuteness in a positive and progressive way
