Keith Floyd 1943-2009

Charismatic British author and television chef, Keith Floyd, has died today at the age of 65 following a heart attack.

Floyd, well known for both his eccentricity and his unique dress sense – often sporting a cravat, and never without a glass of red wine – had been diagnosed with bowel cancer in July this year.

A natural in front of camera, audiences loved Keith Floyd, and he had an avid band of fans for his shows which were on the BBC and, latterly, Channel 5. He also produced over thirty successful books on cookery and travel.
