The longstanding ITV News Central newsreader, Bob Warman is set to present his final show tonight (July 4). It comes after the much loved presenter announced his retirement after almost 50 years on our screens.
The presenter became a familiar face to people across the region as he read the news of the West and East Midlands. Bob's first appearance as a news presenter was in 1973.
Birmingham Live reports that he joined regional broadcasting news in the days of ATV in April 973 which was Central's predecessor. It was the same year major news events happened including the end of the Vietnam war.
