Television viewers have backed reported moves to give newsreader Huw Edwards a knighthood following his work on the coverage of the late Queen's death and funeral.
Edwards has been widely rumoured to be in line to be honoured by the King in recognition for his decades of work as a journalist, including his much-praised handling of the coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's death. On September 8, when the monarch died at the age of 96, Edwards was the broadcaster on BBC News who broke the momentous news.
In the days following the death, the 61-year-old Welshman continued to lead the subsequent reports on the channel, as well as fronting the coverage of the funeral last Monday (September 19). And fans have been quick to praise his work on social media, the Metro reported.
