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.
