- Hours after his death was announced, BBC viewers watched a final message from George Alagiah, the newsreader and television presenter, in which he said he had “gotten to a place to see life as a gift”.
Alagiah died at the age of 67, nearly a decade after he had been diagnosed with bowel cancer.
At the end of Monday’s edition of the News At Six, the bulletin he used to presented, his former colleague Sophie Raworth revealed Alagiah had hoped to come into the BBC studio one last time to thank the viewers but did not get the chance.
In a video montage which featured clips and pictures, Alagiah admitted it had taken him time to process when he was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014.
“For me, I had to get a place of contentment and the only way I knew how to do that was literally to look back at my life”, he said.

I was talking about the o.p.
A sad loss. RIP George.
A very decent chap. RIP
always enjoyed when George was the reporter/presenter
RIP Mr Alagiah. He was a superb news-reader and foreign correspondent. He had that rare combination of gravitas and humanity; both of which gave his messages the best possible delivery. I miss his presentations and this is a trivial way of thanks.
😢😢😢
George was the bravest and most loved of all newsreaders on any channel, it's hard to believe we'll never see his smiling face again, his family must be totally heartbroken with their loss, our thoughts are with his wife and two sons.
RIP GEORGE

What the BBC has become has kind of tainted the legacy of this wonderful man .
Its so sad - lets hope all the other BBC staff got their booosters as well.
Cancer not COVID, twit
Who cares?
That's somebody's family member please if nothing nice to say don't say anything
A lot of people care actually, because he was a good man.
Sorry to hear of his passing away, but for the bbc to give the 1st, 12 minutes of the news at 6 o’clock on his passing was wrong, what with all that’s going on in the world today!
@@dddayesq5061 Hi, his 12 minutes was at the indirect taxation of the public, a brief mention would have done. He was well paid for sitting at a desk, talking!
Deport.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rest in peace
