BBC apologises for using photo of wrong person
The BBC has apologised after the News at Ten showed a photo of actress Siân Phillips when reporting the death of Margaret Tyzack.
The broadcasting company blamed the mistake on human error.
In a statement, the corporation said: “Due to human error incorrect pictures were used to illustrate a report of the death of actress Margaret Tyzack on the BBC News At Ten.
“The pictures used were in fact of the actress Siân Phillips. This was very unfortunate and we would like to apologise to both the family of Margaret Tyzack and to Siân Phillips for any distress or offence caused.”
