Armstrong-Jones, better known by his aristocratic title Lord Snowdon, led a hedonistic lifestyle of Caribbean holidays and celebrity parties with Margaret that epitomised the "Swinging Sixties".
They married in Westminster Abbey in 1960 after Margaret was persuaded to break off her relationship with RAF pilot Peter Townsend, who was divorced.
