Tributes pour in after legendary sports commentator John Gwynne dies aged 77

Tributes have poured in for legendary sports commentator John Gwynne following his death aged 77. The Denton broadcaster passed away this morning surrounded by his family - including his son Andrew Gwynne, the Labour MP for Denton and Reddish - after an 18-month battle with cancer. He died peacefully in his sleep, his loved ones said.

Mr Gwynne was famed for his commentary on darts, working on the Sky Sports commentary team as 'the voice of darts' for two decades. In 2014, the former school teacher was inducted into the Professional Darts Corporation Hall of Fame.
