Seemed like a decent guy.
Although I was a little too young for his time in charge of "Blankety Blank", I enjoyed his 1980s/early 90s TV chat show. It was much more entertaining and seemed to get better guests than a lot of similar shows, and Wogan was always a convivial host.
His ironic Eurovision Song Contest commentary was always a delight, and for a time he seemed like the face of the BBC, which is no bad thing.
So it's sad to read of his passing.
Rest in Peace. -

Awful news, if his friends or family come here then I hope they know he brought me personally much joy in my life and was one of my favourite 'celebrities'.
He will be missed, but he will also be remembered

A sad day. We have lost one of the most cheerful people to work on British broadcasting. His chat show provided some never to forget moments, David Icke and George Best to name just 2 examples. His Eurovison commentary never failed to entertain though by the end you feel his despair at how political it became.

I hope and suspect that he enjoyed working and doing his morning show. He pared-down many of his broadcasting commitments over the last few years so I hope he had time to spend with his family and enjoy some leisure.

I'm truly saddened by this. His Radio 2 show was fantastic, owing to his fantastic, mischievous humour and affable nature. I'm too young to remember his chat show but loved his Eurovision commentary and presenting of Points of View on a Sunday afternoon, as well as, of course, Children in Need. He was clearly a very kind, gentle man who never took himself too seriously and always made his guests feel at ease.
I genuinely feel like I have lost someone close to me, a sentiment I have heard many others make upon hearing this sad news - testament to the man himself. It may sound strange to say, but even though he was 77 it still feels like he was taken too soon. A really lovely man who will be greatly missed. RIP Sir Terry. -

So so sad. Ive been in tears today. I spoke to him about 8 years ago and he was wonderful, such a warm and witty gentleman.
RIP Sir Terry, God bless you
Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you -

I feel bereft. Such a witty man with a gentle humour. I was laughing at the very recent repeats of his food road trip with Mason McQueen. Sad there'll be no more.
Farewell, Sir Terry.
If there aren't any skeletons in a man's closet, there's probably a Bertha in his attic. -

A sad loss in a world that needs his brand of companionability more than ever.
Very true. It's hard to know who else could possibly replicate the warmth and amicable dependability Wogan exuded as a broadcaster. -

We have lost a few celebrities over the past wee whilethis one has hit the hardest though.
It feels like we have lost Stonehengesomething is gone that has always been with us.
Tonight's "One Show" served up a great tribute tonight, and tears flowed when they played out with the floral dance.
A life well lived and a rest well earned.
RIP Sir Terry.

Beautifully put. The One Show tonight was quite a tear jerker.
I thought Terry was fabulous and always looked forward to seeing him - his appearance on Would I Lie To You was a highlight in238 recent years.
I'll miss his voice and humour very much indeed
