Sad news indeed, RIP Sir Terry, you will be missed. The quote below is from fellow broadcaster Jeremy Vine.

Well, I haven't heard of him before, but he seems to have been a very well-respected journalist, and if he interviewed Mr. Lynne, that's good enough for me. RIP to him.

What an awful month it's been for losing legends. Terry Wogan was one of those people you imagined would always be there - as Cat Stevens has said he was a genuine and joyous person. Apparently he never rehearsed if he could help it, his natural sense of humour and charm was the same in and out of the public eye. I'll miss him hugely, RIP Terry

Losing Terry is extremely sad when you think of how much of a constant companion he has been to many of our lives - talk show host, quiz show host, Breakfast Radio host, pop star and perhaps most notably, Children in Need host for over 30 years and long-serving Eurovision Song Contest commentator (making the unwatchable watchable for the Great British public).
Terry may even be indirectly responsible for the re-emergence of Jeff Lynne. For without his vacating the Breakfast spot on BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans would not have had the position of influence he used to petition for Jeff to play live again.
Wogan, like David Bowie, was a legend you always thought would be around, maybe taken too much for granted. And also, like Bowie, the world will not be the same without him. Terry may have been the Bowie of the broadcasting world, a man of many hats, and like the musician he leaves no one to replace him.
RIP Togmeister.

What a nasty year this has been so far.Another constant in my life gone. Terry Wogan was a passenger in every car I've ever owned. The thing I loved about him the most was that, when telling a story or anecdote he knew how important a pause could be, that his listener was intelligent enough to fill the blanks (no pun intended) their self. "Jeremy Vine's run six miles to work..............You can tell" He was also gently subversive. Not afraid to poke the hand that fed him occasionally if he thought it was merited. The Janet and John stories (about respected newsreader John Marsh and his wife) are hilarious and in other hands (Ross/Brand come to mind)would have had disgusted from Tunbridge Wells on the hotline to the Daily Mail in no time.Somehow he got away with it. I'll always remember him reading a letter from "A Mr Hucker........First name Rudolph". This was at about 7.45 am in the middle of the school run!! He was always good with a gentle barb when he needed to be as well. To David Icke "They're not laughing with you, They're laughing at you " I hope he died without pain.I hope he knew that we loved him. A true gentleman. Woven into the fabric of this country. People like Terry Wogan don't come around very often it would seem. "Thank you for being our friend"
