Newsreader Carol Barnes dies at 63

Former ITV news presenter Carol Barnes has died in hospital aged 63 after suffering a stroke. Tributes have been paid, including this from Dermot Murnaghan, "She couldn't have been kinder, more helpful and caring to someone like me." She was part of the ITV News format for much of the 80's and 90's.
