Diana Edwards-Jones was the floor manager on the first night of ITN in 1955. Di, or ‘DEJ’, has died aged 91. She became a great studio director on major live events such as Man on the Moon. In the 1980s I was privileged to sit alongside her being told what to do.
@StewartPurvis Very sorry to read this Stewart - one of my late mother's greatest friends & a wonderful person
@StewartPurvis @AlStewartOBE From all these tributes, she sounds the most incredible lady - I'm sure there are plenty of stories
@StewartPurvis Love this 👏🏽 May she rest in peace And I hope she is commemorated in the ITN building somewhere. I'd like to see this picture in the corridors when I'm there x
@StewartPurvis A very familiar name in the on-screen credits at the end of News at Ten when I was growing up.
