 | | The event, to celebrate Dacre's 10 years as editor, was packed with Associated Newspaper executives and "friendly" rivals who applauded obediently as a succession of speakers, almost all of whom were from Associated, rose to the stage to eulogise their master. |
 | | Also attending were Rebekah Wade, editor of the Sun; her husband, actor Ross Kemp; Simon Kelner, editor of the Independent; Guy Black, director of the press complaints commission; his partner Mark Bolland; Andy Coulson, editor of News of the World; and his deputy Neil Wallis. |
 | | Typically understated in public, Dacre gave a very brief response, thanking his wife and mother and Sunday Express journalist father for teaching him "the discipline of the 28-word paragraphs; clarity is everything and wherever possible tell stories through people". |
