<p>Despite his advancing years, he fronted the gruelling six-and-a-half hour telethon for 35 years alongside an ever-changing supporting cast of household stars.</p>
<p>His ever-present record only ended in November when surgery on his back saw him drop out at the last minute on the advice of doctors, to be replaced by Dermot O’Leary.</p>
<p>Sir Terry was a trustee of the Children in Need charity for many years, before becoming its life president in November 2010.</p>
<p>Children in Need’s chief executive David Ramsden said: “ Terry Wogan has been at the heart of the charity for over 30 years raising millions to change the lives of children.</p>
<p>“We have lost a wonderful friend and we will miss him so much. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.”</p>

<p>Gaby Roslin, who co-presented Children in Need alongside Sir Terry for more than a decade, tweeted about her sadness on her colleague’s passing.</p>
<p>What would become Terry’s final show as a presenter in 2014 saw it raise a then record total of more than £32 million.</p>
<p>The star-studded marathon effort featured One Direction, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and the cast of EastEnders.</p>

<p>He presented alongside a younger generation of BBC stars including Tess Daly, Nick Grimshaw and Rochelle Humes from the pop group The Saturdays – who paid their respects on social media.</p>
