Sir Terry was ‘the best’

Chris Evans led the tributes to the late Sir Terry Wogan at a packed service at Westminster Abbey yesterday, saying: “He will always be the best.”

The unforgettable Irish brogue of the broadcaster – who died in January following a battle with cancer – could be heard at the service, which opened with recordings from Sir Terry’s archive.

Katie Melua, who made her name with the help of Sir Terry, and Peter Gabriel sang at the moving event.
