Tributes have been paid to the former Calendar presenter Marylyn Webb who has died suddenly at her home in Lincolnshire. She was 66. A familiar face for 17 years, Marylyn became one of the most well-known personalities on Yorkshire Television.

Former colleagues, including presenter Austin Mitchell, Calendar editor John Wilford and TV vet John Baxter are among those who have paid their respects, describing her as a talented journalist who related to the people she interviewed. Lindsay Eastwood looks back on her career.

Politician and former Calendar presenter, Austin Mitchell, has paid tribute to his former colleague Marylyn Webb. He describes how she paved the way for women in a very male-dominated newsroom environment.

The former Calendar presenter Marylyn Webb has died at the age of 66 at her home in Lincolnshire.

A familiar face for nearly 20 years, Marylyn was one of the most popular presenters on Yorkshire Television. As a reporter she covered some of the biggest national stories including the five year 'Yorkshire Ripper' investigation.

Former Calendar presenter Alan Hardwick said today:

“Marylyn was for many years the female face of Calendar and a very good friend. She had a special relationship with our viewers that has stood the test of time; whenever anyone talks to me about Calendar – which, even after all this time, is often – they always mention Marylyn with great fondness.

"She was professional, she was kind, and I will miss her a great deal. My deepest condolences are with Alan and the family."

We'll be paying tribute to Marylyn on Calendar tonight at 6pm.
