The late George Alagiah

Peter Denton posted a photo:

George Alagiah, the highly regarded BBC newsreader and foreign correspondent, has died from cancer at the age of 67. This is my candid capture of him at work in Westminster during the 2010 general election.

Jon Sopel, the BBC’s former North America editor, summed up colleagues’ feelings thus: “Tributes will rightly be paid to a fantastic journalist and brilliant broadcaster – but George was the most decent, principled, kindest, most honourable man I have ever worked with. What a loss.”

It’s hard to think of a finer epitaph.
