I shared the best moment of my broadcasting career with Dermot. London winning the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games. He was always a pleasure to work with. Kind, amusing, and extremely talented. One of the finest news presenters I’ve been lucky enough to work alongside

Colleagues and friends of Dermot Murnaghan, former TV presenter and long-time Sky News anchor, have paid tribute to him following his death at the age of 68.

Speaking personally, I will really miss him. He's been a wise and supportive friend throughout my career. He cared passionately about sport, clean sport in particular, and his legacy will live on for many years to come.

Sir Craig is in a small, elite group of people of whom it can honestly be said that there probably wouldn’t have been a London 2012 without him. His passion for the project throughout the bidding process was infectious, and the IOC members (voters) trusted him.

IOC mourns the death of IOC Honorary Member Sir Craig Reedie

Sir Craig held a number of leadership positions at the highest levels of international sport, where he helped shape policy, expand global participation and confront some of the most difficult challenges facing the sports world. Among others, he was IOC Vice-President, President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), President of the International Badminton Federation (IBF) – today known as the Badminton World Federation (BWF) – and Chair of the British Olympic Association (BOA).

IOC President Kirsty Coventry said: “Sir Craig dedicated his whole life to the service of sport and the Olympic Movement. He was a steadfast guardian of integrity, guiding the global sporting community through some of its most challenging moments with dignity and resolve. His contribution to the Olympic Games, to clean sport and to the development of athletes worldwide will endure for generations to come.”

@HonestFrank That’s a good innings. Please don’t stray too far from your current line of work, as many of us will still be waiting for your Grand National tips next April.

20 years ago today in Singapore. An announcement that changed my life and that of countless others. I’ll always treasure this photo on the BBC set of the moment we found out that there was going to be a London 2012

I would really appreciate any good advice on the best UK clinic or place to get expert help for a 15 year old girl with an eating disorder and severe exercise addiction. So many people go through this, but it’s so hard to get good advice. DM’s open. Thank you

High hopes for a French gold medal at mountain biking = long queue to get in

[James Pearce @Pearcesport]

@Hammers54 Thank you, and yes you’re absolutely right

[James Pearce @Pearcesport]

My base for the coming days. This is Olympics number 11 for me (Summer and Winter), but my first on the communications side of the fence. Looking forward to seeing many familiar faces pool-side

[James Pearce @Pearcesport]

@westnewsprod @DanJohnsonNews @andyalcroft Good luck for whatever is coming next. It’s a long time since we worked together, but I still have some great memories. You’re one of the very best

[James Pearce @Pearcesport]

I’ve had one of the most unlikely but exhilarating experiences of my life. I’m bad at golf. Really bad. Today I played my first round for 8 years. 8 years! Archerfield in Scotland. I got a HOLE IN ONE. Such a fluke! Bounced off a bunker. I feel like a fraud but it feels great

[James Pearce @Pearcesport]

@Dickinsonwriter @thetimes Matt, you’re bowing out at the very top. It was always a pleasure working alongside you at events or on big stories. Good luck for the next chapter

I’m only the very tiniest cog in the big wheel that is @IpswichTown but it’s a pleasure to be a small part of something that’s been so positive for fans over the 3 years since the takeover.
