Veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost has died at the age of 74 after a suspected heart attack while on board a cruise ship. A family statement said he had been giving a speech aboard the Queen Elizabeth on Saturday night. Sir David's career spanned journalism, comedy writing and daytime television presenting, including The Frost Report. Internationally, he will be remembered for his revealing interviews with former US President Richard Nixon. A statement said: "His family are devastated and ask for privacy at this difficult time. A family funeral will be held in the near future and details of a memorial service will be announced in due course." The BBC's Barney Jones, who edited his Breakfast with Frost programme on the BBC for more than 10 years, said: "David loved broadcasting, did it brilliantly for more than 50 years and was eagerly looking forward to a host of projects - including interviewing the prime minister next week - before his sudden and tragic death. We will all miss him enormously." Prime Minister David Cameron said: "My heart goes out to David Frost's family. He could be - and certainly was with me - both a friend and a fearsome interviewer."

So are you a bit like Spider-Man now? Congrats btw

Shola remains as fucking shit as ever.

Rob, why don't you write it all down - a bit like you've done here and give it to your parents if you find it hard to speak to them. It might be easier and means you still get to let them know how you're feeling? And please let us know how things go and if you're able to take the first step. It's a brave thing to do

Fish, you have a sensitive side! You've just gone up in my estimation In all seriousness, I'm also glad that things are better for you too

If I hover my mouse over a button on the internet you'd be gone in a second. Rob - I can only reiterate what other have already said. Please please just talk to someone - anyone at all. Your parents would be heartbroken to think you were feeling like this and couldn't tell them, but sometimes it's easier to start with telling someone whom you don't know. Once you say it out loud you'll hopefully feel some of the burden lift. I really hope things start to get better soon.

Just a hunch. I'm perfectly happy to be proved wrong.

I hardly think you're in any way qualified or even feel the need to help in any positive way here, therefore it's probably best if you just stay out of it.

Yes. It's not a diagnosis, it's advice. In an area that he's more than qualified to give advice in.

Fire pits? Sounds like what you get if you leave the Veet on for too long....

Good gawd

It was a bit weird actually. I found myself trying to make the day the kind he would remember when he grew up in the same way as I remember them now. As kids we'd spend bank holidays with grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins playing footy and rounders at the beach/at the park/by the riverside eating egg sarnies and drinking juice out of plastic cups. It was always sunny too, obviously!

Good mood, have had a lovely day full of nostalgia from the bank holidays as a child. Beautiful sunny day, took my son to the beach where he started out paddling then ended up in the sea up to his neck wearing just his undies Came home feeling manky, full of sand and covered in ice-cream. Lush...

Congrats Chez

What an absolute farce!

Anyone seen Planes yet?

If you eat from a Chinese banquet whilst you're already feeling queasy then you get everything you deserve. There's no remedy!

Talk about being wracked with guilt when for the first time ever your 4-year-old shouts downstairs "Mammy are Newcastle winning yet??" What kind of life am I setting him up for?

That was a great year
