At the age of 85, a journalist who survived two explosions in his career has died.

Richard Holland, a River native, died on February 3 at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford after a brief illness.

In March 1973, Mr Holland was a Fleet Street reporter who was barely yards away from a car that exploded outside the Old Bailey.

Just a few minutes previously, he had casually peeked into the truck.

Mr Holland covered The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and he also missed getting hit by a roadside bomb in Belfast, as this was an IRA attack.
