“The BBC broadcaster, Sir Terry Wogan, who surely ranks as the UK’s best loved radio and TV host has left us and passed away at the age of 77. Sir Terry died after a short battle with cancer and our kind wishes go to his wife and children at this sad time.

As a former British resident I awoke each morning to hear Terry’s warm jolly voice on Radio 2 breakfast show. Terry Wogan, of Irish birth, became a household name all over Europe as Terry single handedly each year since the early 70s was the BBC commentator for Eurovision Song Contest. His amazing brand of Irish wit became an annual tradition with each Eurovision Song Contest  broadcast, in fact over the years on the odd occasion Terry did not made the commentary box it was just not the same, claimed many of the British viewing public. As Sir Terry and Eurovision forged a joint annual tradition.

Sir Terry will be missed so very much, as the ESC has out lived Sir Terry Wogan  he will never be forgotten R.I.P.”
