Sir Terry Wogan: Tributes to legendary broadcaster

Sir Terry Wogan's funeral will take place next week, the BBC has announced.

The veteran broadcaster died of cancer on Sunday at the age of 77.

The Irish-born presenter was best known for his roles hosting chat show Wogan, the Eurovision Song Contest and the Children in Need fundraisers.

Next week's funeral will be a private service for the family and no further details will be released.

Henry Kelly knew Sir Terry Wogan for 60 years.

They went to the same school together in Dublin before both enjoying long radio and TV careers in Britain.

He has shared some of his own special memories of their friendship with ITV News.

Sir Terry Wogan's longtime friend and fellow broadcaster Henry Kelly has said his death has had such an impact on the public because "we all felt as if we knew him".

Speaking to ITV News about his friend, Mr Kelly said he could be relied upon for any favour and was "spiritually generous".

He added that Sir Terry was "everyone's friend" and he "loved every second" of his broadcasting career.

DJ Chris Evans has paid an emotional tribute to Terry Wogan, calling the veteran broadcaster his "radio dad" and "the absolute governor".

He told GMB of his "disbelief and shock" over the 77-year-old's death from cancer yesterday, adding: "If we all had 1% of what he had, we'd all be 100% better."
