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. https://t.co/OYlevE2avZ

Thanks so much to everyone at @wamu885 for all your help and for such a warm welcome. It was great to work with you!

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

@tidder @KhalilTaufig My apologies! I’d written down ‘the broadcaster ARD’ but read out ‘the broadcaster AFD’ by mistake.

@JontyUpNorth It’s a fair question. I was expecting the guest to give the rate when I asked him to tell us about the figures, but he didn’t. I should have mentioned it in the introduction.

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. https://t.co/JR6j1pDM3X
