Sir David Frost has won a lifetime achievement award at the International Emmys in New York.

Winners of the awards, which celebrate TV made outside of the US, were chosen from 41 nominees from 17 countries.

Sir David's TV career began in the early 1960s when he hosted satirical show That Was The Week That Was.

He went on to become a heavyweight interviewer, both in the UK and the US, and the story of his tussles with former President Richard Nixon was made into Oscar-nominated film Frost/Nixon.
