Tributes for Carol Barnes, who has died aged 63 after suffering a stroke, have been pouring in from her former news colleagues.
After starting her career in teaching, Barnes moved into public relations and journalism. In 1989 the News at Ten team won the TV Times editors special award.
Barnes worked with the late Richard Whiteley and former BBC Breakfast presenter Dermot Murnaghan on the Channel 4 breakfast TV show in 1989.
The newsreader had a long-standing relationship with former government minister Denis MacShane, but the couple never married.
Barnes' daughter Clare was killed in a sky-diving accident aged 24. She died when her parachute malfunctioned during a jump with her boyfriend in Australia.
Throughout her career Barnes interviewed many high-profile people, including the late Diana, Princess of Wales, pictured with Barnes' former news colleague Selina Scott.
Barnes was part of the ITV team which covered the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer at St Paul's Cathedral.
Fellow newsreader Alaistair Stewart joined Barnes to take part in the BBC cookery show Ready, Steady, Cook in 1999.
Barnes met the Queen in 1991 during a tour of ITN's new headquarters in Grays Inn Road.
