[Twospaniels]

Age 67. He had cancer.

I liked him as a new reader

He was a bit of a national treasure wasnt he, so sad to hear.

Oh no 😢

Oh that is sad

Ah that's sad, he seemed like a lovely man.

So sorry to hear this.

I knew he was ill, but had hoped (as always, I suppose) that he would recover.

Sad.

Oh thats awful, I was interviewed by him (a very very long time ago), he was very kind and patient with my nerves.

George Alagiah: BBC journalist and newsreader dies aged 67 - BBC News

Sorry to hear this.

That’s a sad one. Commiserations to his family.

I liked him as a newsreader. I remember when he first announced he was ill and then when it had come back again.

RIP.

Ah, that's sad. He did so well carrying on working despite being ill.

This is sad, RIP George.

I'm so sorry. RIP.

Awful news. What a lovely man and excellent journalist, he will be a huge loss.

So very sad. I regularly make his dhal, it's on the bbc website. I’ll cook up a pot in his memory.

So sad. He was indeed a national treasure.

I knew he was very ill, bless him. He was part of the furniture really, in terms of watching the TV news.

That's very sad - I'll always remember his reporting on Rwanda. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the same time as my Dad and silly as it sounds we always kept an eye out for him on the TV.

Very sad. I’d heard his cancer had come back.

That's sad for his family. He's been ill for years,

So sad. Bless his soul. He had such a kind face and was so, so handsome.

Sad news. Condolences to his family.

That's a lovely idea Kitchen

Very sad news. He always came across as a really nice man. RIP x

What a loss, to his profession and his family.

He’s left a great legacy.
