ITV News at Ten pays tribute to Lucy Meacock after leaving Granada Reports

ITV News at Ten paid tribute to Lucy Meacock this evening, who signed off from Granada Reports for the final time.

Lucy announced 2 weeks ago that she would be stepping down after 36 years at Granada.

She said at the time: “This has been one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. But the time is right to move on now.”

Her send off on Granada Reports today was a quite one due to the events in Southport on Monday, which saw three young girls murdered at a dance club.

Lucy began her broadcasting career at Tyne Tees TV with the Miners strike in 1984. Since then she has become a hugely respected presenter and journalist in the North West. She joined the Grandad region in 1988.
