BBC Radio 2 listeners were 'bawling' as presenter Ken Bruce signed off from his show for the last time, after more than 40 years at the organisation.
The 72-year-old Scottish presenter has regularly presented his mid-morning programme from 9.30am to midday. Taking to the BBC airwaves for the final time, he thanked his listeners, the production team at Radio 2 and the BBC after his 30-year show came to an end.
He said the BBC is “still the finest broadcasting corporation in the world” aside from the occasional “vagary” and also thanked members of the Ken Bruce Preservation Society who gave him a bottle of Irish cream liquor. Bruce then played a medley of Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and The End that closes the Abbey Road album by The Beatles as his career at the BBC came to an end.
