Sir David, 74, died of a heart attack on Saturday (August 31), while on a lecture tour aboard the Queen Elizabeth cruise liner.

A statement from the Duke of Norfolk’s estate office said: “As well as his professional life as an international broadcaster, David was a dearly loved family man who will be greatly missed by all of us.”

When the duke, then the Earl of Arundel, married Georgina Gore at Arundel Cathedral in 1987, David Frost and Lady Carina were among the guests, along with Princess Diana.

Sir David’s career took him from secretary of Cambridge Footlights to presenter for Al-Jazeera, via interviews with celebrities and politicians including disgraced US President Richard Nixon and Margaret Thatcher.
