Obituary: Sir Thomas Jones

It’s with very great sadness that we announce the death of Sir Thomas Jones, the Thong Society’s honorary president. Sir Thomas died at his home in Kent after a long illness. I am sure we speak for all society members when we say that Sir Thomas will be greatly missed. He provided us with many years of loyal service.

May his buttocks be forever clenched.

Our Founder

Sir Henry Peel was one of the greatest minds of the late Victorian age. He was an explorer, discovering some of the remotest tribes of South America, and travelled widely in the East, including China and Japan where he was one of the earliest Europeans to adopt the wearing of the fundoshi.

Returning to England, Sir Henry became a philanthropist, eventually setting up The British Thong Society.

His death in 1927 was one of the widely reported events of the decade. Each year at the small family church in Knots End, Surrey, members of the British Thong Society lay a commemorative thong on his grave to mark the very great things Sir Henry achieved and our abiding loyalty to his legacy.
