Re: Carol Barnes
I was saddened when I saw the News Report too G-C .. it's like a year younger than I am, and I am not ready for going yet !
Also, she had that terrible tragedy when her 24 year old daughter was killed in a parachute accident .. how do you get over that ? Probably not, wouldn't have helped her health at all. Shame, great shame. |

Re: Carol Barnes
I liked Carol Barnes. I'm sure tha losing her daughter in such tragic circumstances must have had an impact on her health.
It is a sad loss to broadcasting and a sadder loss to her family.

Re: Carol Barnes
I was shocked this week to read her age, in an article published after she'd had a stroke, I thought she was at least ten years younger. It must have been very hard for her, after her daughter's death.
I remember her reports from the Brixton riots in the early '80's, as well as her professionalism when reporting the death of the Princess of Wales. I last saw her in a programme before Christmas, reporting on the homelessness, brought on by the alcoholism, of her former colleague Ed Mitchell. A beautiful woman, and a loss to broadcasting.
