Bill Turnbull's daughter to run London Marathon in memory of BBC Breakfast star

Bill Turnbull's daughter has announced that she will run the London Marathon in a loving tribute to her dad after he sadly died last year.

Tributes poured in for the BBC Breakfast presenter after he passed away in August aged 66 following a battle with prostate cancer. Bill was diagnosed with the illness in 2017, and spent his final years committed to raising awareness of the importance of getting checked for the cancer - helping to save lives in the process.

Bill's daughter Flora said she hopes to continue her dad's work, and announced on what would have been his 67th birthday that she will be running the marathon in his memory to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK. Flora has so fair raised £5,000 for the charity so far via her JustGiving page, which funds research, awareness and support around the disease.
