A Corner Stone for Poet Ted Hughes

The late poet, Ted Hughes, has been honoured today with a memorial stone in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.  The memorial sits at the foot of the stone commemorating his publisher and fellow writer, TS Eliot and amongst the likes of famed bards such as Chaucer and Blake. 

Hughes's friend and poet Seamus Heaney told the BBC's Will Gompertz that Hughes deserved to be remembered in Poets' Corner.  Click on the image to watch the clip from the BBC.
