Veteran broadcaster Sir Jimmy Young dies aged 95

Veteran broadcaster Sir Jimmy Young has died aged 95.

The long-serving DJ, who spent almost three decades at BBC Radio 2, died "peacefully at home" with his wife Alicia by his side on Monday afternoon, a family spokesman said.

Sir Jimmy was one of the original Radio 1 DJs at the station's inception in 1967.

He moved to Radio 2 in 1973 and filled the early afternoon slot until he retired in December 2002.

RIP Jimmy. LL

I used to like him too. RIP.

Aw, another one gone.

And he could sing as well as present!   LL
