Sir Trevor became a household name after he interviewed Nelson Mandela in 1990.
He was the first journalist to interview the South African upon his release from prison.
He went on to become one of the most revered news broadcasters in the UK.

Sir Trevor knighted by The Queen
He was knighted by The Queen in 1999, and wife Jo was there in attendance.
Knighted for his services to journalism, he shared his delight at receiving the honour.
He said at the time: “It is stunned disbelief. I never dreamt of it. When they gave me an OBE in 1992 I went around for days telling everybody about it.
“I was absolutely chuffed then. The knighthood citation says it is for journalism as well as broadcasting and that gives me great pleasure.”
