Very touched by kind words from people today, as mentioned, I do hope I can find a place to continue broadcasting on my beloved radio Humberside, but the outpouring of love for local radio is wonderful. Please remember to be kind, whatever your opinion. Kindness is what matters x

Thank you for this tweet, sir.
Loved watching the #Coronation coverage. This was a nice touch, in a procession of world leaders and high ranking Officers from the Commonwealth, this Lt Col paid compliment to one and only one very special individual... #VC
