Part if the soundscape of my life. Who can forget his coverage of the Falklands War ? But he was more than that, a literate, authoritative reporter - I learnt about it via Facebook - a sign of the times... Reply to this message | Report message

Anthony Howard also died today. On of the best political commentators with an encyclopaedic knowledge of 20th century politics. Sad day for intelligent journalism. Reply to this message | Report message

Hanrahan's 'counting them out and counting them back' report is in the same bracket as Kenneth Wolstenholme's 'They think it's all over --- it is now!!' at the 1966 World Cup Final. For those of you not interested in football, England won that game. Reply to this message | Report message

Brian Hanrahan was an outstanding journalist, widely respected and his death at an early age is a very sad loss. Reply to this message | Report message

Yes, 'the Sherpa' as Private Eye called him (quite affectionately I think) in reference to his appearance. He was a nice man. Used to see him round Notting Hill when I lived there what seems like years ago. Reply to this message | Report message
