George Alagiah welcomed back to BBC News after 'months of treatment'

Viewers and colleagues said it was "fantastic news" to see George Alagiah again as he returned to his BBC News post after cancer treatment.

BBC News presenter George Alagiah made a comeback today after an extensive battle with cancer. The 66-year-old was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014 and has since gone through 17 rounds of chemotherapy.
