But we will leave you with a reprise of the video of Sir Terry signing off from his Radio 2 breakfast show for the last time in 2009.
Wogan was 'a generous and warm-hearted man' - former BBC colleague
Email Message: I had the privilege of working with Terry during the late 60s, early 70s as a BBC Radio production assistant. It was decided that the nation needed some exercises and so as an instructor with the Keep Fit Association I was designated the task of writing his daily “Fight the Flab” exercises which he broadcast to the unsuspecting British public who were instructed to “blindfold the goldfish” or “seal up the letter box so that the postman would not see! Which meant, needless to say, that he never stuck to the script but the exercises were followed by many people at the time who phoned in regularly to let us know how they were getting on.
I still have correspondence from the BBC and a little book which he had published called “Fight the Flab” – Keep fit with Terry Wogan – exercises from his BBC Radio Show and published in 1971 at 20p and in fact on another project we worked on, which was cancelled at the last minute he paid me himself to ensure I received my fee for the work I had done. He was indeed a generous warm-hearted man.
Long after I left the BBC I always listened to his morning Radio 2 show and he regularly made me laugh out loud as I drove up to Rotherhithe in the early morning and caused concern to other drivers in the same traffic jam as I was. (obviously not listening to Radio 2)!!
It is so sad to know that he will not be on radio again - I always think Radio was his first love and his insightful comments and warmth made me think he was talking only to me when in fact his listening figures were huge.
RIP Terry

Email Message: I was a young student in London from 1987 to 1989 studying at Hammersmith and West London College which was opposite the BBC Lime Grove studios. We would often see famous TV people in the street or nearby but I only got one autograph and that was Sir Terry's.
We sat in the pub opposite Shepherds Bush Green and someone said that Terry was outside, so we rushed out to say hello. He was charming and happy to stop and chat to us. I only had an old Tube ticket in my pocket but he was very obliging and signed his name on the back of it.

Email Message: I met him once, in 1998 at the Eurovision Song Contest in Birmingham which he co-presented. When he learned I was from the Netherlands, he complimented our song that year. "It's got to win," he said. "It's by far the best. Very musically, very well-performed and arranged by the orchestra." Alas, we didn't win (Israel did), but to hear this from the great man was nice."

Sir Terry 'simply the best'
In a statement, TV presenter Chris Tarrant called the news of Sir Terry's death "awful and unexpected"
"Even though we had competing breakfast shows for many years, he was always incredibly kind to me: but of course he was kind to everybody... unfailingly funny on and off the screen - just a lovely, warm, witty man.
He had a unique radio presence that never came from a podium, rather a comfortable fireside armchair. He was the finest broadcaster of my lifetime. Simply the best.

Esther Rantzen, who worked with Sir Terry on Children in Need, said he was famous for not rehearsing performances.
Quote Message: You enjoyed the wit when you were in his company. You enjoyed it whether you were a viewer or a listener. The only criticism I ever heard anyone make of Terry was that he just wouldn't rehearse.
