George Alagiah RIP

Yes, we were both saddened to hear he has died.

I’m so sad to hear this, he was an excellent newsreader and a lovely man with a lot of courage.

So sad, a long battle with cancer

RIP

Such a shock!!! only 67.

RIP. A worthy representative of our most important broadcaster the BBC.

How sad. RIP.

Oh dear. He always radiated integrity as he read the news it seemed to me. I'm so sorry he's gone.

Very sad. 67 is no age nowadays.

He will be very much missed in broadcasting

RIP George 🌻

I am so sorry to read this!

That’s so sad.

I cried. I’d only thought of him last week when we were inThe Christie and I saw someone who reminded me of him.

I remember being delighted to see him back on our screens after he had been away for a good long time. Thinner obviously but looked well. Then he disappeared again.

I liked his voice and presentation style very much.

RIP sir.

Upset to hear this. Both he and my dh have followed the same cancer journey diagnosed at same time with similar operations and same number of rounds of chemo. Dh scan due in Aug to monitor progression.

So sorry to hear that.
He was a splendid reporter ,excellent newsreader and I am sure he will be very much missed.

Very sad to read this. Sixty seven is no age and nine years were spent battling cancer.

RIP

Very sorry to hear this, poor man, and condolences to his family.

An absolutely fine newsreader and a real gentleman. I remember watching a TV programme about his battle with bowel cancer and thinking what a lovely, handsome man he was.

My Mum had bowel cancer twice (different types) so, like George, I am always doing all I can to make people aware of BC symptoms.

Very sad to hear this, George Alagiah was an excellent reporter and broadcaster. Also a man of integrity, he will be missed.
RIP

Such a sad loss to broadcasting. He seemed a kind, gentle man.

Best wishes next month Oldbat for your husband’s scan. It really is a very stressful time. I’ve heard it referred to as ‘scanxiety’ which I can well understand.

I was very sorry to hear that he has died. He seemed a true gentleman.

Saddened to hear this.

Clive Myrie added a personal tribute at the end of the report on the 1 o’ clock news. He was visibly moved.

I am so sorry to hear he has died, an excellent newsreader.

I was upset to hear this, although I did know he was ill. He always came across as a gentleman, a man of integrity and kindness. A loss to his family, and to us all.
