The RTS East Anglia Centre Special Lifetime Achievement Award
A special Lifetime Achievement Award went to Philip Garner, who retired earlier this year as Managing Director (Broadcasting) Anglia Television. He joined Anglia in 1962 and one year later became editor of About Anglia at the age of 23. Philip's later career as a senior figure in ITV was reflected by video tributes from Greg Dyke (formerly Chief executive of LWT) and David Elstein (Director of Programmes at British Sky Broadcasting).
