Christa Ackroyd column: 'Yorkshire Day is a fitting time to say goodbye to my great friend Harry Gration'
. Not because he was just the best example of what it is to be Yorkshire, though he was, but because he was also a quiet man of faith.
John Sentamu presided over what is said to be the most important building in Yorkshire for 15 years. Harry was there reporting when he was installed as Archbishop and Primate of all England to the sound of African drums and also conducted the last interview with him when he retired just a few months before Harry’s own retirement from the BBC. The two became firm friends and the Archbishop christened the youngest of Harry’s six children.
When I left the BBC some ten years ago now he always kept in touch and we met up regularly. When my husband was seriously ill and fighting for his life in hospital, he quietly came to visit. And when my mum died, he found the time in his busy work schedule to attend her funeral. He didn’t know her well. But he knew me inside out. And he knew I needed him there. And it meant the world to me.
