ITV’s breakfast programme Good Morning Britain delivered a touching tribute to two trailblazers. Presenter Susanna Reid honoured D-Day hero Ronald Butcher and Hollywood veteran Robert Redford. During Wednesday’s (September 17) episode, she was joined by Richard Madeley when they paused the show to announce two heartbreaking d3aths.
Susanna announced: “I want to pay tribute to an extraordinary man, hero, D-Day Veteran Ronald Butcher, who has passed away at the age of 98.” Earlier this year, just before VE-Day, Ronald spoke about d3aling with trauma from the battlefield once the Second World War was over, fighting the memories, even in his sleep.” After discussing Ronald’s d3ath and his impact, Richard addressed the d3ath of acting legend Robert Redford and said: “Talking of RIPs, we say goodbye to Robert Redford, who has been part and parcel of the fabric for so many people’s cinematic lives as far as I can remember.”
