GOODBYE GEORGE ALAGIAH

A young roving reporter of considerable experience

Who was employed widely showing reliable resilience.

In later years, he brought news with consistent connectivity

A model of calm courtesy and admired objectivity.

Now he's gone ahead, making the news on his way,

Goodbye George Alagiah - and many thanks for your stay.

Thanks for the likes. My long life has seen a list of household names reading the news on BBC TV - Robet Dougall, Richard
Baker, Moira Anderson, not forgetting that graceful lady who
delighted us with her dancing on a Morecambe & Wise Christmas
Show and who is still to be found employing her talents on our screens today. Mr Alagiah was a worthy addition to their ranks!
