Chris Evans paid tribute to Terry Wogan at the beginning of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show on Monday 1 February 2016.

After news that veteran BBC broadcaster Terry Wogan died yesterday (Sunday 31 January) tributes to the much-loved presenter flowed in. Director General Tony Hall wrote to BBC staff saying: "Today we lost a broadcasting legend, but also a dear friend. Terry Wogan was simply a wonderful man - courteous, courageous and delightfully mischievous. People watching and listening adored him." 

On Twitter tributes filled every feed, here we've collated just a few.
