Tribute paid to 'adventurous' UK journalist killed in Libya
Published Date: 14 May 2011
FAMILY and friends of award-winning British photojournalist Tim Hetherington, who was killed in Libya last month, have gathered to pay tribute at his funeral.
The Oscar-nominated film-maker and conflict photographer was capturing images of fighting between Muammar Gaddafi's forces and Libyan rebels on April 20.
Father James Campbell, delivering a homily at the requiem mass, said: "Tim, may he rest in peace, was an above-average example of his generation. He shared all of the qualities that many of his generation have, he was determined, adventurous, ambitious, even to the point of being nominated for an Oscar."
