R.I.P. Sir Terry Wogan.

A very warm and funny man

Yeah that was a shock, one of those people it's impossible not to like. A mainstay of TV and Radio for a long time.

An excellent man - old school charm and a lot of plucky wit.

There goes a legend

The PM said that "Britain has lost a huge talent". I think it is better to say that a real professional has been lost. RIP

Thanks for hosting Gary Numan (I Can't Stop) back in '86

An Irish son who knew how crap the Eurovision is, and made his presentation funny and entertaining.

A huge talent sounds correct.

Until the mid-80s, BBC Radios 1 and 2 shared the same FM band - with 2 getting all but a couple of hours a day.
And every place I lived while I was at university, AM reception was virtually non-existant.
So for three years my clock-radio alarm was set such that I would go to sleep each night listening to John Peel, and be woken every morning by Wogan.
Maybe not what I would have chosen, but on reflection I don't think I would want it to have been any other way.

Don't let that 'easy' charm fool you.
Wogan was one seriously smart guy, intelligent and erudite.
And above all, decent.
Too rare a combination to let his passing go unremarked.
Thanks Terry - may your god be with you now.

so long Terry
