Sir Terry Wogan RIP

[Macspur]

Terry died in the early hours of this morning... I feel incredibly sad at this news.

A warm, funny human being who loved his music and responsible for introducing the likes of Katie Melua to the music scene.

Personally, I will miss his mellifluoss Irish tones that I've grown up with on Radio 2 over the years.

Not really someone I liked, or watched, or listened to. But, without any doubt, he made millions happy for over 50 years and helped in raising huge amounts of money for charity.

(Oh, and I remember, when a child, that my mother used to like him on the radio.)

Really saddened by this news. He was a lovely part of my mornings for decades.

 

[The Mad One]

Soo sad to hear about Sir Terry

I grew listening to terry as my parents always watched eurovision.

God bless you

 

[Frank Harvey]

He was THE reason to watch Eurovision!

A gentle, generous and (imho) very funny man.

Really saddened by the news of his passing. He just had something that 'modern' broadcasters (especially the obnoxious idiot who replaced him on R2) don't, and will never, have - genuine charisma and sincerity.

RIP.

He was the first person to play a reggae record on the BBC....

Terry Wogan used to bring me round gently in a morning as I drove to work. I do not take too kindly to being hit around the head as is the current fashion!

RIP Sir Terry

Another sad loss of someone who helped define a generation.

'The Floral Dance' notwithstanding....

Grew up listening to him and Jimmy Young on radio 2. Another one of the last bastions of decency and morality on our radio and TV leaves us. RIP great man.

A fixture on a morning in our house in the 70's. I associate him with my Mum (who loved him) and getting ready for school. Not a fan of him on TV. In the early 2000's I had a very long and depressing commute to work on a morning and came across him STILL there on radio 2 doing essentially the same flipping show!! His warmth, gentle humour (and the nostalgia) was very comforting. Sad loss.

He got paid £1300 an hour for hosting children in need, the ONLY celeb in it's long history to demand payment.
