Veteran broadcaster Moira Stuart and Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley will be among a number of people recognised with royal honours today.
Stuart, 73, who was the first African-Caribbean woman to read the news on British television, has been made a CBE for services to media. She will collect her award at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
Stuart became a Radio 4 newsreader and programme presenter after beginning her BBC career as a radio production assistant in the 1970s. She enjoyed a history-making career in radio and television at the BBC, spanning nearly five decades, after returning to read the news bulletins on Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 breakfast in 2010.
