Hubert Gregg, presenter of Thanks For The Memory on BBC Radio 2 since 1972, died peacefully at his home on Monday 29 March.

Gregg was an actor, director, author, writer of words and music, broadcaster and a stage performer.

Lesley Douglas, Controller of BBC Radio 2, said: "Hubert Gregg was not only an extraordinary person but he was also a unique broadcaster.

"As a musician he was responsible for memorable songs such as Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner, and in Radio 2's Thanks For The Memory he painted pictures of a bygone era with wit and style.

"He will be greatly missed by the Radio 2 audience - young and old alike."
