MAKING THE HEADLINES ANNE DIAMOND REMEMBERS SON SEBASTIAN AS SHE IS HONOURED BY THE KING

Wearing a smile as bright as her colourful jacket, Anne Diamond beamed with pride as she was invested with her OBE in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

The journalist and GB News presenter – who received news of the award on the same day she was diagnosed with breast cancer – was honoured by the King and the pair exchanged a few words and grasped hands in a show of warmth and mutual respect.

Anne, 69, received the award for her services to public health and charity, including her tireless campaigning for research into sudden infant death syndrome (Sids), or cot death as it is more commonly known.

SAVING LIVES 

She began raising awareness of Sids in 1990, when she and then husband Mike Hollingsworth, whom she divorced in 1999, lost their son Sebastian when he was four and a half months old.
