My best wishes go to Carol Barnes (ex- ITN and News at Ten), who is seriously ill in hospital after suffering a stroke. I grew up watching Carol presenting a variety of bulletins across ITN's output.
News 24 has just announced that Carol Barnes has died. Peter Sissons almost broke down into tears when he announced it. He struggled through the next link but looked like he was about to cry. A very poignant moment.
One of the best newsreaders ever , nothing fazed her.
RIP Carol, thoughts are with her son James.
Totally agree - I remember her in the early 90s especially and, for me, she epitimised ITN during this period. One of the most brilliant newsreaders I think we've ever seen and someone who touched so many people's lives.
Terrible news, and just when she was beginning to get back on track after the death of her daughter.
