Sir Terry Wogan has passed away at the age of 77, after a brief battle with cancer.Many of you may not know of Terry Wogan. He was a long-time veteran BBC presenter, hosting numerous TV and radio programmes.
Some of you may have heard his familiar dry wit during the Eurovision Song Contest, which he commentated upon both via radio and TV at various points since 1973, commentating on the TV programme every year from 1980 to 2008.
He was also the headliner and host of the BBC's Children in Need, an annual telethon charity event raising money for the poor, disprivileged and sick children of the UK, raising over £790 million since 1980.
Wogan hosted the show every year from 1980 until 2014. Unfortunately he could not host 2015 because of the illness which took his life, but had high hopes to return for 2016.
I'm sure there are many Brits, and possibly others abroad, for whom Sir Terry Wogan was a big figure for much of their lives. Whether it was his radio programmes, or his many TV roles.
He'll be sorely missed by many.
