Long-time Â鶹Éç Radio 2 presenter Desmond Carrington has died aged 90.

The veteran broadcaster - who left Radio 2 in October last year, ending a 70-year career - presented his Friday show, The Music Goes Round for 35 years, before he stood down due to ill-health.

Fellow presenter Jeremy Vine pays tribute to him saying his show was one of the best things about Radio 2, calling him "a sweet, bright, modest man'.

He says: "He put so much care into it, it really felt almost like a handwritten letter to every single listener."
