Britain’s Prince Charles attended a memorial for the late Sir David Frost today (13.03.14).
The 65-year-old royal was among the 2,000 people who paid tribute to the broadcaster – who died last August, aged 74 – at a service in London’s Westminster Abbey.
The sombre event had quite the royal turnout with Charles’ wife Duchess Camilla, Prince Andrew, his daughter Princess Beatrice, and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, also turning up.
Charles joined David’s widow, Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, to lay flowers on a memorial stone dedicated to the late newsreader.
Fellow broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson gave a reading, as did BBC director general Tony Hall, while comedian Ronnie Corbett read a prayer in commemoration of David.
Legendary actress Joanna Lumley added some humour to proceedings with a jovial poem about the broadcaster.
The Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, hailed David as one of the world’s "greatest communicators".
He added: "Surely it was the warmth of his humanity, his interest in people, and what made them tick, that made his ‘Hello, good evening and welcome’ welcome in the world’s living rooms."
David is best known for his infamous TV interviews with former US president Richard Nixon.
