One of BBC's great broadcasters

The death of the BBC's Brian Hanrahan is for this blogger poignant.

He was special - everything about him - his words, his voice.

Started out studying maths, changing to politics.

On the demise of Hönecker, he said: He damned up his people, but in the end was damned by them.

Never wise to presume, but can one presume he was educated by the Jesuits?

He was born in March 1949.
