Daily Express
|August 22, 2023
LEGENDARY journalist, broadcaster and thriller writer Freddie Forsyth announces his retirement from the Daily Express today after more than two blockbusting decades writing one of Fleet Street's best-informed and most widely read columns.
The Day of the Jackal author, who will file his final column on Friday as he marks his 85th birthday, admitted it was with a sense of regret that he was bidding farewell to Express readers.
He said: "It is now time to step back and retire and that must include saying a fond goodbye to the column."
