George Alagiah’s passing is such sad news. It was a privilege  to have worked with him and shared countless African experiences, most notably in Lusaka in 1990 on the day after Nelson Mandela walked free. An assignment with George meant working with the best. @BBCAlagiah

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of a Hot 1027 radio legend. A few hours ago, Kevin Savage lost his battle to cancer. Rest in peace our Kevin Savage. We will miss you.

‘Tis true! After a month on long service leave (it’s a BBC thing), watching friends and colleagues reporting brilliantly from Ukraine, today was time to hand in the badge. And what a privilege it’s been for (ahem) 32+ years… 1/8

I’m crossing into southern #Ukraine. Icy wind. Snow. At the border, hundreds of women and children heading the other way. “When will this war end?” asks the first Ukrainian I meet. How do u answer that?

18 year old Ukrainian volunteers off to war in Kyiv. Three days training and they will be on the front line.

It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to suspend @BBCNews operations in Russia until we assess impact of new laws which outlaw independent journalism. Thoughts with colleagues in Moscow whose voices cannot be silenced for long.

We’re all in the basement, after one or more explosions in the Kyiv area this morning. Will be another long day. #ukraine

I got my first multi-band radio when I was 10. Magical moment. I used to lie in bed listening to radio stations from around the world. Still remember their idents and signature tunes. For #WorldRadioDay, I play some of my favourites. @BBCNews @bbcworldservice @BBCRadio3

He did much so more than coin the title The Rainbow Nation. Bishop #DesmondTutu got down and dirty to dig #SouthAfrica's foundations for the new democracy that so disappointed him. He had the most apposite expressions even if is was only a mischievous chuckle. Rest in peace.
