As tributes poured in for Terry Wogan, ITV asked readers on their Facebook page to submit their favourite memories of Sir Terry.

There were thousands of responses, including Suan Maughan from Rochester, who called him "a British Institution", Brian David who said he was a "true legend in broadcasting", and Michelle Smith who called him a "wonderful man" whose death is "a great loss to British TV".

Betty Palmer found she was unable to come up with a favourite moment because "everything he [Wogan] did was ace".

Others of you responded that it was Wogan's work on the BBC's Radio 2, an association he kept up for 27 years in total, that had most affected you.

Many said they enjoyed listening to him in the mornings, getting ready for work or on the school run.

Some highlighted the hilarious and frequently rude "Janet and John", or as Rosaleen MacMahon called them "Terry's rude skits on his old breakfast show".

The innuendo-laden stories were written by Mick Sturbs and Wogan himself was often unable to stifle a chuckle as he read them out on air.

His work on Children in Need was, unsurprisingly, popular with many of you.

When Wogan pulled out of co-presenting Children In Need last year for health reasons it was the first time he was missing from the charity lineup in the BBC appeal's 35-year history.

Many of you also enjoyed watching him present the Eurovision Song Contest.

For Scott Dodds it was Wogan's wry commentary that made the often idiosyncratic contest "watchable".

That included in 2001 referring to Danish hosts Soren Pilmark and Natasja Crone-Back as “Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy”.

Eurovision tweeted its condolences following news of Wogan's death, calling him "the most remarkable Eurovision commentator" in the show's history.

Wogan stopped presenting the show for the UK in 2008.

Mel Harris said she "grew up watching Blankety Blank", and others agreed the comedy quiz show, which first aired on British TV in 1979, was a Wogan highlight.

Wogan was the show's first presenter, fronting it until 1983.

Some of you picked up on the unusual wand microphone he used on the show, which was memorably destroyed - twice - by regular panelist Kenny Everret.

There was even mention of Terry & Mason’s Great Food Trip, the veteran broadcaster's most recent television programme, which saw him and London cabbie Mason McQueen travel around Britain sampling local food.

Sir Terry Wogan died on Sunday at the age of 77 following a short battle with cancer.
