Statue of broadcaster Terry Wogan unveiled in native Limerick

Broadcasting legend Terry Wogan, has been immortalised in bronze in his native Limerick, a year after he died of cancer.

Wogan had been made a freeman of Limerick in June 2007.

Speaking at the time, the BBC radio and television star had quipped, with trademark modesty: “No doubt, people will say that there are great men and women who have done a lot more for Limerick than I have. But, nonetheless, I am delighted to accept this honour, because I have such an affection for this great city.”
