Today marks the end of an era at Channel 4 News, as @jonsnowC4 will present his final edition of the programme tonight at 7pm.

Here's a look back at his remarkable 32-year career presenting the show from around the world.

@RT_com That would be "free rape" not "free sex". Please amend.

@krishgm @jonsnowC4 Plus: the best socks in the business! Looking forward to watching tonight. Will miss him.

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Can’t quite believe tonight is the last #C4News anchored by @jonsnowC4 - who would require a very long thread to properly do justice to. He’s an extraordinary human being, who’s been there at some of the most amazing moments of history. (1)

🎅🏻 No one should be alone on Christmas Day so if you’re in the Fife area on the 25th you’re welcome to join me on a socially distanced walk up Falkland Hill.

Will be starting from the East Lomond Mast Car Park for 9am. It takes about 20 mins to ascend so will be back down by 10.

Hi there @BBCNews, you're actually covering an item on PPE and are saying that mistakes were made due to confusion in government about what was the right standard to order.

Just to point out that government *snubbed* existing PPE suppliers for startups with *no* prior history.

🚨Tuesday Deadline🚨

Our group has just been informed that we only have until Tuesday morning to gather evidence to present to the Cabinet Secretary re: Overprovision

If you're motivated by the discussion around short term lets, please send your testimonies to our organisers!

Lateral Flow Test Kits being handed out at following locations. Please let elderly friends and neighbours know. Many chemists are running out quickly and not everyone has access to the internet for online ordering. Thanks 💙

#c4news Crikey, when David Davis looks and sounds like the voice of reason that's quite the indicator of how f*cked we are.

[Independent Minds @Indy_Minds]

#c4news Would love to know how this libertarian Charles Walker voted on voter ID and the right to protest.

[Independent Minds @Indy_Minds]

@ScotNational Yawn.

@levelpeg Utterly.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

The #NationalityandBordersBill is offensive in principle - but this is a reminder that it’s about people. David saves lives in NHS Scotland every day. He’s as Scottish as I am. The fact this Bill could see him deported - along with so many others - is deeply reprehensible.

People who can't afford wallpaper shouldn't keep having children.

[Carol Monaghan @CMonaghanSNP]

In response to a question from @joannaccherry , it would seem that the Tories are considering removing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights. This is an extremely worrying development.

@KennyFarq Seated, unless you were physically manhandled into that place by another person (who 'sat' you down there) or you're English.

[Jed Mercurio @jed_mercurio]

Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent
