How old is Alistair Darling and when did he become a Lord?<\/h3>\n

"Mr Darling, the much-loved husband of Margaret and beloved father of Calum and Anna, died after a short spell in Western\u00a0General Hospital<\/span>\u00a0under the wonderful care of the cancer team."<\/p>\n

"One of the great Chancellors, he\u2019ll be remembered for doing the right thing for the country at a time of extraordinary turmoil. <\/p>\n

"My deepest sympathies to his family."<\/p>\n

Who are Anna and Calum Darling?<\/h2>\n

Together with his wife Margaret, Darling first welcomed Calum in 1988, followed by daughter Anna in 1990.<\/p>\n

Unlike their famous father, the siblings have kept themselves out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Their dad leaves behind an incredible legacy, and career in politics.<\/p>\n

Darling joined the Labour party at the age of 23 in 1977 before becoming a solicitor in 1978.<\/p>\n

In 1982, he was elected to the Lothian Regional Council until he was elected to the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

In 1987, Darling first entered Parliament after winning the Edinburgh Central seat in a general election.<\/p>\n

When Gordon Brown became Prime Minister in June 2007, he quickly appointed Darling as Chancellor of the Exchequer, a promotion widely anticipated in the media.<\/p>\n

Journalists at the time noticed that his four junior ministers at the Treasury were all female and so they were dubbed "Darling's Darlings".<\/p>\n

Darling also led the Better Together campaign, which won the\u00a0Scottish independence\u00a0vote in 2014.<\/p>\n

Who is their mother Margaret?<\/h2>\n

Darling was married twice in his life.<\/p>\n

He had a brief previous marriage when young, but he has never talked about his first wife publicly.<\/p>\n
