Kate Garraway said a final farewell to her late husband Derek Draper at his funeral today, which took place at the same church where they married nearly two decades ago. Garraway and Draper married in Primrose Hill, an Anglican church in the exclusive London suburb of Beggart on September 10, 2005.

Fiona Phillips, Ben Shephard, and Richard Arnold were among those who attended the wedding 19 years ago and were also present today at the event. St Mary's, as it is locally known, is a place for surviving Victorian boys founded by two Hampstead businessmen in 1865, which held services in a nearby iron building that became so popular that the new brick church was built. The church was built in July 1872 and is best known for being where vicar Percy Dearmer and composer Ralph Vaughan Williams compiled 'The English Hymnal' in 1906.

Fiona Phillips has revealed that she believes her 11-year experience with broadcasting breakfast television could be the reason why she developed Alzheimer's at such a young age. The television presenter, who revealed she had been diagnosed with the disease in July, appeared on ITV's GMTV between 1997 and 2008, which meant she'd have to wake up around 3 a.m. on the days she was hosting the show. I ask myself why I got this horrible disease,' the actress, 62, who appeared alongside Eamonn Holmes on the show, started at 6 a.m., said. I'm curious if all the years of getting up so early while I was working on GMTV contributed to me becoming Alzheimer's so young.'

Fiona Phillips has given her a heartbreaking health update after finding she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The TV host, 62, is currently on trial for a drug called miridesap, which is believed to be able to reduce or even reverse the disease.

Fiona said in a interview with The Mirror, that she has experienced little lapses in her short term memory, such as forgetting what she was saying mid-conversation.

Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London who was known as 'Red Ken' for his left-wing views, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 78. As he steps away from public life, the one-time figurehead of the Labour left, who served as the capital from 2000 to 2008, is being 'well cared for by his family and friends.' The news came after journalists Alastair Stewart and Fiona Phillips, among other notable journalists, decided to share their own battles with the disease. 'Red Ken,' as he is widely known, had tense rivalry with Margaret Thatcher's government in the 1980s, leading to the authority's removal.' He served as a Labour MP for Brent East in 1987 before being elected as the first modern-day Mayor of London in 2005. However, Red Ken has been involved in a number of scandals surrounding antisemitism, most recently in 2016 when he was barred from the Labour Party for suggesting that Adolf Hitler favoured Zionism, which is the campaign favoring the establishment of a Jewish state in what is now modern-day Israel.

Fiona Phillips, a television presenter, is shooting an ITV series about living with Alzheimer's.

According to initial results, donanemab, a drug that was used as a monthly infusion for 18 months, was found to have a decrease in the ability to carry out daily activities by up to 40%. Eli Lilly, the US pharmaceutical giant, will publish the complete findings of its trials of the drug, which is the second shown to slow progression of dementia. Just over a year ago, lecanemab, another drug, was found to slash cognitive decline in those with memory impairments by 27%. On July 7, it was approved for use in the United States, but a UK introduction of the drug is 'on the horizon.'

This number includes, but not limited to, Fiona Phillips (right and inset), who was diagnosed last year at the age of 61.

Sadly, this could make people feel extremely dissatisfied.'

Fiona Phillips continues to smile after speaking out about her devastating Alzheimer's disease. Fiona, a television presenter, was left in 'total shock' when the doctors diagnosed her with Alzheimer's after she feared her brain fog symptoms were a sign of menopause.

Emma Ruscoe, 55, of Solihull, West Midlands, began to notice subtle signals that her husband Simon, 55, had something wrong with him. Emma said her husband stopped wanting to go out with her friends and he was pulling herself from her, to the point she suspects she was having an affair. At the end of 2015, Emma, an administrator, noticed a change in his behaviour.' Simon stopped wanting to go out with friends; he didn't want to go out and socialize.' Emma noticed some changes in her husband after a family holiday to Cephalonia, Greece, in August 2016.

Fiona Phillips, 62, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a year ago and faced the difficult decision about whether or not to tell her sons as it emerged that she was scammed out of thousands of dollars. Having first thought that Menopause related to brain fog and anxiety, the former GMTV host was diagnosed last year at the age of 60. She is already suffering from memory loss, anxiety, and fear, and she can no longer do things she used to do without considering, such as driving and traveling by Tube. However, Fiona's family rallied around her, she and Martin faced the difficult challenge of what to tell their children and whether they should have them tested for a gene that has made Fiona's family members immune to the disease. Fiona said she felt "vulnerable" after learning she had Alzheimer's.

She gave him cards with their information in case he was lost; she disguised her sadness with joking; and took a break from her job as an anchor presenter at GMTV. Besides the wretched grief of her mother's death, she has a growing suspicion that she might have inherited the same degenerative disease that killed her mother and would kill her father, Neville, at the age of 76.

Since the former GMTV host, 62, announced that she is now living with the chronic illness, the tragic prediction, which was made eight years ago, has resurfaced. Last night, the journalist revealed her illness when she promised to fight the disease with the help of her husband, Martin Frizell of This Morning. The mother of two sons, aged 21 and 24, has announced that she is participating in a pioneering trial for a drug that is supposed to slow or even reverse the disease. I suppose I must have a game plan that can be used if I'dappear,' she said in the Mirror back in 2015: "I must figure out an action plan that can be used if I'd disappear,' I'm sure." She promised to'sit down and analyze care homes' so that her husband would not have to do so in a panic or crisis.' "I'll write a list for him so he knows how to do it if I'm not here." He doesn't see the need because he's charming and reassuring, and insists, 'I'm sure it won't happen to you,'" (well, hopefully it won't, but I'd rather be prepared.'

Ms Philips, whose parents both died of Alzheimer's, said it was a 'big moment' when tests revealed that her sons don't seem to have inherited the disease.
