Terry Wogan has died following a brief and unsuccessful battle with cancer.
With him dies another precious pieces of my childhood. Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2 in the morning was on, without fail, at my grandparents house. Every morning I and my brother would come down to breakfast to smell of bacon and eggs (used to make a mean fry up, my granddad) and the "BBC Radio Twooooooo" jingle.
And how can any memories of an 80's childhood be complete without Sir Tel and Blankety-Blank! Loved that show. Between Larry Grayson and "Shut that Door!" 80's game-shows ruled the roost.
In later years he was just a brilliant, brilliant presenter with a dry wit and wicked sense of humour. Hearing his voice was always a comfort that I guess can only come from enjoyment I had listening to him and watching him as a kid.
Rest in peace, Terry. You were a genuine legend and will have them chuckling away at the Pearly Gates.
