On a somber Friday morning, Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid arrived at St Mary the Virgin Church in London to support her colleague Kate Garraway as she laid her late husband Derek Draper to rest. Along with Ben Shephard, the two were among the first of Garraway's friends to arrive at the funeral.
Garraway announced the passing of her husband on Instagram, sharing a touching black and white photo of her holding his hand. She expressed her sadness and gratitude for the medical teams who fought to save him, as well as the support from her friends and family during this difficult time.
Draper, who had been battling poor health since contracting Covid last year, passed away on January 3 at the age of 56. Garraway had been by his side throughout his final days, holding his hand until the very end.
The news of Draper's death came just weeks after he was rushed to the hospital following a heart attack. Garraway and Draper had been married for almost 20 years and shared two children together, 17-year-old daughter Darcey and 14-year-old son Billy.
