Edwards has been off-air since July 2023, following the revelation that the presenter was embroiled in a sex images scandal.
“BBC television is broadcasting this special programme,” croaked the clearly emotional tones of Welsh newsreader Huw Edwards, “reporting the death of Her Majesty the Queen.”
“America is pounded in the world’s biggest terrorist attack,” Edwards told the nation at 6pm on 11 September 2001.
Today, the BBC announced that 62-year-old Edwards is resigning from the corporation, citing “medical grounds”.
