He provided commentary on the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II,
Churchill's funeral, and the Concorde's first flight (as a passenger).
He was a motor-sport fan who not only covered but participated in
several Monte Carlo rallies. One of the highlights of his tenure on
"Tomorrow's World" took place in 1967, when he interviewed Dr.
Christian Barnard live by telephone just one hour after he completed
the world's first heart transplant.
