BROADCASTER (AND LIMERICK man) Terry Wogan has died at the age of 77.

A great loss of one of the best regarded people in his profession, people are sharing so many stories of their memories of him, both personal and on TV and radio.

Chris O’Dowd worked with him on Moone Boy, and has shared a sentiment that is being repeated so many times this morning…

Terry Wogan was a busy man. But he kindly gave up a day to film some scenes for Moone Boy. He brought and wore his own 80's mustard suit.1/2

2/2 I felt guilty as our day ran long, but when we finished, he still insisted on taking us all out for pizza. He was, and is, a class act.

Wogan’s appearance on Moone Boy saw him hosting Ireland’s version of You’ve Been Framed to Look Like a Big Feckin Eejit.

Wogan’s BBC radio colleague Graham Norton is also paying tribute this morning…

He made it seem effortless and for a young boy in Ireland he made it seem possible. RIP Sir Terry Wogan. I'll raise a glass during song 9.
