Following several years of dementia apparently. I remember him as a perpetually cheery, often parodied weatherman. RIP.
I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Sad news. He was one of the first weathermen with an on screen personality. I remember him describing heavy rain as being bad news for small dogs! RIP.

    How many weather presenters were so popular they were on Spitting Image? I also just learnt that it was him that told Michael Fish that there was no hurricane on the way...

    I remember him going into Percy Prior's music shop in High Wycombe. A gentleman.
