Sad news today that BBC journalist Brian Hanrahan, best known for his coverage of the War zones, has died at the age of 61.

He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago,his condition deteriorated within the last few days ago.

Brian was a journalist of unimpeachable integrity and outstanding judgment.

R.I.P.

Yes sad news indeed. Brian was indeed a gentleman broadcaster of the old school, I had the pleasure to work with occasionally.

Diagnosed a short time ago with cancer and an infection finished the job. Rest in Peace! One of the few!!!

His well-known line "I counted them out and I counted them all back in" is a perfect example of why Wikileaks is not necessarily a good idea.

A reporter, not a journalist.

Sadly, he was due to attend the final flight of the Harrier last week but was too unwell to attend.

A voice that will be missed.
