It was ‘Adios but not goodbye' from an emotional Ronan Collins on Friday as he told listeners on his final show that it had been “a privilege and a pleasure” to broadcast his weekday lunchtime request show on RTÉ Radio One for almost 38 years.

As he has done each day since 1985, Collins let the music do the talking, opening with ‘This will be our last song together, words will only make us cry’ by Neil Sedaka.
