Too many going this year.
🙁
Blimey
not a good year to be a 69 or older celeb
🙁
It's not been a good month
Doffs cap. Woagz.
always gave the impression tha he was enjoying himself
I'm going for a 😀 in memory of that
Another one from my childhood gone. 🙁
RIP Terry
Very sad. He always seemed such a genuine and witty man with an air of devilment about him.
Cancer really is a ****
Always liked his dry wit and as above, he always looked like he was having fun. He was on the breakfast news on the bbc not long ago and looked fine and healthy. Must have been very quick.
Very sad. I used to enjoy his radio show in particular. One of the longest careers in the business.
He always looked on the bright side, and I thought he had a great time on his recent programme travelling and eating around the UK.
RIP Terry Wogan.
Damn. That's a shame.
Remember watching his chat show as a young kid with fondness. In later years found him slightly irritating, but odd to think we won't see his face on tv again.
The mrs has just said, another we grew up with as kids now gone.
One of the good guys.
I always remember Kenny Everret bending his microphone in Blankety Blank. 77, I thought he was older than that as he'd been around so long.
A great personality, still entertaining on radio 2. I used to love watching Wogan, some fantastic interviews
RIP Sir Terry.
I can only echo what has already been said, another from my childhood gone. My first memory of Sir Terry was on Blankety Blank with his stick microphone.
Just got Sky news on the the presenter said that most of the nation would consider Sir Terry like having a friend in the room if he was on TV or the Radio, I agree with that.
Been a rubbish year with loosing people from my younger days. I had Absolute 80's on the other day and it was like " he's gone, she's gone......" Make you realise how many people have gone over a few years.
A lot of my favourite TV personalities form my childhood have gone or have turned out to be weirdos.......
I remember a school friend that had to go to bed a 7pm I think it was . I remember thinking he doesn't even ge to watch Wogan!
What a shit January 🙁 RIP.
Always liked his dry wit
eurovision has never been the same without it 🙁
Sad news. A true legend.
As has been said he always seemed to be having fun, his Eurovision was brilliant. RIP
Saw him on the telly the other day some kind of down your way thing.... took him an hour get about 20 paces stopping every 2 feet for a selfie.
Bloody hell. 🙁
RIP Sir Terry. You were an absolute ( BLANK )
A passionate man who loved the BBC and quite obviously hated the decision makers, especially those who thought closing telly-centre down was a good idea. Good on you Sir Terry - RIP.
I liked his wit & humour RIP Sir Terry,one of the good guys.
RIP , sad day. 🙁
RIP Tel, was a nice chap.
He always seemed to be one of the blokes you'd like a Pint with, not that he'd probably drink much but hey, you certainly would be entertained all night long.
An institution in his own lunchtime.
A stalwart of many a good cause.
An air of calm when all around seemed to turn crazy around him.
You only ever saw him smiling.
A sad loss.
Saw him on a flight to Spain. On the UK side he was escorted through the airport by officials of Heathrow. On the Spanish side he chatted with the Spanish guy pushing his wife's wheelchair. Then tipped him nicely. Just from what I saw he seemed a nice bloke and not at all a primo uomo.
RIP Sir Terry 🙁
wasn't he taken off Eurovision because of the mickey taking he used to do? some of the other broadcasters were getting upset as they take it seriously.
Condolences to his family
So long Terry.
Some don't believe you are truly dead until all ripples caused by your existence have gone as well. With him (especially with SaxonRider's help), this will be some time.
RIP
Weekday mornings before breakfast TV, Terry Wogan's voice was the introduction to the day. Warm and humorous - he made even grim 1970's school mornings seem OK.
I hope he and Kenny Everett are fighting over a microphone somewhere and Kenny is bending it in half!
Not many great Limerickmen left - Harris, Wogan... 🙁
I'll keep flying the flag. 😀
Nah seriously, Eurovision commentaries were legendary and nobody has touched them. He was reviled in Ireland for a while - perhaps people saw through the whole devilish Oirish shtick he had going on, but not much in later life. Sad to see him go.
Rest in peace Sir Terry. You brightened up many a morning.
Can remember driving to work when he played some appalling piece of music. It finished, there was a long pause and all he said was, "I'm going to have a headache all day now".
Will miss him.
Always came across as warm, friendly and approachable unlike so many other 'celebs'. A true entertainer who seemed to genuinely like talking to people. A sad loss.
Give that man a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen.
Sad day. I got the feeling something must be seriousoy wrong fpr him to miss Children in Need. Delighted he was knighted in recognition of his huge success. Thenway he could make Eurovision seem vaguely interesting was genius.
RIP
Apparently the only celeb John Peel invited to his wedding. Speaks volumes.
Not just celebs passing away. Nearly everyone in my road has lost a parent in the last couple of months, myself included. WTF is going on ?
His radio 2 breakfast show always helped me to arrive at work in a better mood than I would have otherwise.
RIP Terry,and Chuffer Dandridge, and Janet & John.
Oh no that's two people that have died already this year
Been listening to BBC audio about Douglas Adams, and various bits were interviews by Terry, I was thoroughly enjoying them, remembering his talk show. So sad, to come back and find this news. Yet another sad passing of a part of my childhood, sympathies to his family and friends
