A respected broadcaster.
My first thoughts when I heard the news? I liked his narration of Mary,Mungo and Midge.
R.I.P Richard.
From Twitter..
"In his final years, he moved to a retirement home where he continued to read newspapers and cut out the headlines.Then at Six O'Clock he would read them aloud to fellow residents over supper." What an absolute gem. |

He had such a nice clear voice for the news and he presented enjoyable music programmes on the radio and he was good fun too - Face the Music, "his" acrobatics on There is Nothing Like a Dame on M&W.

I'd forgotten about the news readers spot on M&W Eileen, the thought made me smile.
