Heartfelt tributes have been poured in for a well-loved Derbyshire radio presenter and journalist. Mike Carey presented on BBC Radio Derby for almost 20 years with his popular afternoon show Memorable Melodies.
But on Monday (May 22) the radio station sadly confirmed the presenter's death. It came after Derbyshire Police released a statement saying that the 87-year-old had passed away after being rescued from the River Derwent near Darley Abbey Mills on Saturday, May 20.
It is understood that Mr Carey had problems with his vision in his latter years and walked his dog in Darley Park, Derbyshire Live reports.
