Tributes pour in after death of ‘fearsome interviewer’ Frost

Tributes have been pouring in for “peerless broadcaster” David Frost who died after suffering a heart attack at the age of 74.

The veteran BBC interviewer died on Saturday night on board the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, where he was giving a speech.

Known for incisive interviews with the leading figures of his time — and perhaps most famously disgraced president Richard Nixon, his career spanned more than 50 years.
