@awatsoncnadida I had no idea. Hastings was a joy. Such a friendly welcome.

@Newsbbclover It began at 11 09. And ended at 12 23.

@agmuirhead @WhisperingBob You make a good point. I have nothing but admiration and affection for Bob. He’s done so much to introduce people like me to some wonderful music. Thankfully, we had him on live after my piece went out this morning.

@musicmanleeds A Yorkshire musician! You have place in the executive lounge and thank you for your kind words.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@musicmanleeds You make an interesting point. We do have a wonderful pronunciation dept and the official advice is for the anglicised rather than the Dutch pronunciation. The American curator at the National Gallery calls him Van 'Go.'

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@DavidAGraham @dave1agar A valid point. It’s more about where and how people find the news than who actually did the work. Thank you.

@HelenFBarnett @Ticketmaster @TicketmasterUK @oasis Hi Helen, sorry to bother you but I’m doing a report today on the investigation into Ticketmaster. Would you have a moment for a chat?

@irvgirl Hi Georgia, I’m doing a piece about the investigation into Ticketmaster today. Would you have a moment to talk?

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@Semiramis1952 Blimey. How wonderful. Of course.

And to be completely accurate it's Hugh Davidson Sillito, LRDG. He later joined SOE and fought with French resistance.

@AmyVChalmers @edfringe @OverTheWater_ Oh. 😢

@JessCarrivick I knew I’d forgotten to say something!

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@ITVRobShelley That’s very kind of you. R4 running my interview with them was a career highlight.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@emilywoodartist I’ll be there.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

It would be rather wonderful if this made it to the BBC’s most read list - 11 years after it was first posted. And seasons greetings to all the lovely people on the railway.

@adambat 🙏🏻

@sallyann16 Ha! All of them taught me and all were excellent. Mrs Hunter was brilliant at getting us through English Lit. Ted Harben was a lovely person and the fact that maths seemed pretty straightforward was all down to Mr Fall.

@BerrymanHannah @Variety 👏👏👏. What a great film. Bravo.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

In case anyone saw my report last year on the lovely Gwendolyn being one of the last people to receive a telegram from the Queen - here she is on her 101st birthday rocking it as Cruella de Vil.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

@nlygo And there’s my evening gone, reading about north London’s abandoned stations.

[David Sillito BBC @DavidSillitoBBC]

I’m case anyone’s wondering why the Northern Line is suspended at East Finchley. An Alsatian is on the track.
