He's Irish, of course. The President and Taoiseach (Prime Minister) both paid tribute. Among the normal people, there's a lot of mixed feelings towards the man.

I met him when I was a small kid at the airport and he gave me his autograph.
Re: R.I.P Sir Terry Wogan
There's talk of naming a bridge over the Shannon in Limerick after him.
Whatever people thought of him - and I think it ludicrous for an Irishman to accept a knighthood - nobody in Limerick would deny that he was the greatest broadcaster ever to come out of Ireland.
I'll say one thing for him: unlike many celebrities, he was genuinely talented. I still smile when I remember him asking Neil and Chris, when they were promoting The Most Incredible Thing, why they "still bothered with the auld pop". He could be affectionately irreverent.
He was also known to put the demise of his regular golfing outings down to the fact that three of his usual foresome partners were under investigation by Operation Yewtree.
Yes, he had the auld Limerick wit, alright.
Drico.
