Former ITN newsreader Carol Barnes has died in Brighton hospital after being admitted last weekend.

Carol Barnes - one of the most prominent presenters in television news over two decades, has died after a suspected stroke.

The former television presenter Carol Barnes has died at the age of 63. Ms Barnes worked for ITN, the makers of this programme, on ITV bulletins, the News Channel and Channel 4 Daily.

She was admitted to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton last weekend after suffering a suspected stroke.

Her 24-year-old daughter was killed in a skydiving accident in Australia in 2004 - and today her son James paid tribute to a woman he described as "beautiful, kind and delicate".
