A wonderful tribute from one great reporter to another on a very sad day. RIP George. A lovely man, who inspired so many of us with his empathy, humility and warmth. bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…

Good night & good luck to @ritula - a brilliant colleague over many years. As warm in person as she is on air. Always supportive, thoughtful and encouraging. The World Tonight family is going to miss her x

Today's BBC coverage of the anniversary is full of poignant testimonies and stories, many of which were genuinely hard to read. I am especially unlikely to forget this one, as told to @BBCJamieCoo

I loved hearing @mullingar_rc & @martymull’s memories of Meat Loaf’s 1989 tour of rural Ireland. Great stories! The last 7 minutes or so of last night’s programme. Enjoy. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0013j…

Old school radio reporting takes on tyrannical big tech in the latest humdinger of a read from my sadly soon-to-be former colleague @HaningtonPhan. Highly recommended!
