"Respected and Liked By All Who Knew Him" is how this piece was headlined in the newspaper. Never has a sentence been more true. Pete was a great journalist but a greater person. He will be sorely missed. https://t.co/jAqZVjgmsF

RIP to a titan of political journalism.

@ExpressandStar Political Editor Pete Madeley has sadly passed away. Thoughts go to his family at this time.

Pete taught me so much during my time as a news reporter and I’m incredibly grateful. A true professional and brilliant person.

[Alex Ross @AlexRossJourno]

Pete Madeley was a brilliant and highly respected journalist in the @ExpressandStar newsroom.

Also kind, supportive and extremely funny - the best colleague you could ask to work alongside.

So many wonderful memories in and out of the office.

RIP

Here are some recent pieces I've written addressing this context.

In less than a week we've seen a man dreadfully killed on a street in daylight, to the start of a major investigation, to charges being laid, and court proceedings underway. The team at the Shropshire Star will be following this one all the way.

On this eve. "His departure 15 months into the role does not just ring alarm bells, but it removes what feels like the final layer of security during the biggest period of uncertainty and upheaval in the history of this great Football League founder." #wba

On the day that King Charles III is being crowned, we thought it'd be a good idea to delve into the archive and dig out our front page from the last time The Star covered a coronation.
