Loved his love stories and that music as he read out the letters. Sunday love songs I think.

Cheesy but great radio.

Just listening on R5Live and Paul Gambaccini talking to Clare McDonnell about his death and they are both near to tears

I liked that in a way that says "I didn't like that I wish none of it happened "

Ref Steve Wright - I don't think I have ever seen / heard so many tributes for one death ever - and I include the Queen in that - it seems he has pre-recorded a Valentines Day love songs to be played on radio 2 tomorrow - could be a challenging listen if they air it.
