Editing Eamonn Andrews (section)

==Death==

After months of illness during 1987, originally caused by a virus contracted during a plane journey, Andrews died from [[heart failure]] on 5 November 1987 aged 64 at the [[Cromwell Hospital]] in London.

He had recorded his last edition of ''This Is Your Life'' six days before on 30 October 1987. After his death, the show, and two others that had yet to be broadcast, were postponed until, with his widow's permission, they were broadcast in January 1988.

A funeral service was held for Andrews at St Anne's Church in [[Portmarnock]] where he had his home, and his body was buried in [[Balgriffin Cemetery]] to the north of Dublin. A memorial mass was held for him in [[Westminster Cathedral]].<ref>'TV star Eamonn Andrews loved Porthmarnock home', ''Fingal Independent'', 24 September 2004.</ref>
