Sir David Frost dies on board Queen Elizabeth cruise ship
Cunard has paid tribute to Sir David Frost, who has died of a suspected heart attack while on board its cruise ship Queen Elizabeth.
The veteran broadcaster, 74, had been giving a speech as a guest lecturer on the cruise on Saturday night.
The Queen Elizabeth had just left Southampton on a 10-night Mediterranean cruise to Civitavecchia (Rome).
Cunard president and managing director Peter Shanks said: "Sir David Frost was a remarkable journalist and broadcaster. Cunard had a proud association with him over many years. On behalf of us all at Cunard Line I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, family and friends."
In a career spanning 50 years, Sir David was a journalist, comedy writer and TV presenter and was internationally known for his incisive interviews with the disgraced former US President Richard Nixon.
In 1970 he was awarded an OBE and in 1993 he received a knighthood.
He leaves behind his wife, Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, second daughter of the Duke of Norfolk, and their three sons.
British Airways tweeted its respect saying "Sir David Frost, Concorde’s biggest supporter, will be greatly missed by everyone at British Airways".
He claimed to have been on board the supersonic airline ‘somewhere between 300 and 500 times’ before it was retired in 2003.
