Friends and former colleagues of ex-HTV presenter Steve Taylor have paid tribute to him following his death at the age of 65.

Steve was a regular face on Wales at Six, Wales Tonight and other HTV and ITV Wales programmes for fourteen years.

He is survived by his wife and two children.

Steve began his career at the South Wales Argus, before moving to the BBC, where he presented Four-Five-Six on BBC Radio Wales.

In 1992 he joined HTV.

He became a familiar face presenting news and sports programmes, retiring in 2006.
