He was one of the best and Im so upset at the news of his death
I watched the 6 O clock news in tears as I watched the wonderful tribute to him by his colleagues.

He was a brilliant presenter and reporter and had a voice like velvet, and was such a handsome man and decent human being.

RIP George, condolences to your family and friends and now free from pain and suffering

You will be missed, you are missed

Awful news, just awful to that he has passed. Every bit the professional when on air reporting or reading the news.

Now at peace.

I have just read this wonderful tribute by Sophie Raworth.

The box of kleenex is in use tonight.

Its so moving and how nice her daughter is named after him.
