A snippet from a programme during the financial crash was that between Gordon Brown, Fred the Shred, Eddie George and Sir Terry, only he was the one with a banking qualification.

Got into broadcasting as a temp job during the Irish bank strike back in the sixties.

Must admit he wasn't my cup of tea but, and it is a big but, I admired the man for the amount of work he put into Children in Need. This is the type of cause that deserves to be recognised when handing out honours and he thoroughly deserved his.

So sad ,a master of his profession,nobody can fill his boots. I laughed my way to work on many a morning. Those Janet and John stories made my sides ache. Terry was truly a national treasure and a good,good man.R.I.P Terry a TOG

So  many  of  the  fine  tributes  seem  to  be  coming  from  people  who  did  not  really  like  his  programmes  over-much.

That  really  does  seem  to  sum  up  his  all  round  appeal.

R. I. P.  Sir  Terry  and  thank  you  for  the  pleasure  you  gave  me.

Such a lovely man.  My mornings were never the same when he retired from Wake up to Wogan on Radio 2.  His whimisicality was all part of his charm.  He will be sadly missed.  R.I.P.

We grew up with him. Desperately sad that he is no longer with us. Please keep him going: have a look at you tube and his Janet and John recordings. Even now, by watching and listening we are donating to the Children in Need cause which he dedicated so much of his own time and effort. They are the true essence of this fun loving gentle man. He was so like my dad. Lovely lovely OG.

What I used to love about him was his ability to say what you would think about anything.  When travelling in the car anywhere, I would always listen to him and would be laughing out loud at some of his jokes.  Loved him and will be missedSad
