Henry Kelly, journalist, TV presenter and game show host, has died at the age of 78.

He always seemed so affable and charming.
When an interviewer in the Ham & High newspaper asked him what he would say if he had to write his own epitaph, he responded: “Who was he?”

RIP Henry Kelly

Yes, affable and charming is a very good description.

I saw him on a sunny afternoon in a Hampstead pub with his family. Seemed such a nice man.

An excellent presenter on Classic FM in its infancy.

I haven't heard that name for years. I didn't know he was still alive.

He's not, hence the thread.

Quite often it’s not until someone dies and many tributes then describe just how talented people are. I only remembered him as a game show host but apparently he was an excellent journalist and very talented individual. RIP

His image immediately came to mind when I heard that he had died. I only remembered him as a game show host so quite good to learn that he did other things too.
