For me, an uplifting moment is watching this tribute to the legendary South African singer Johnny Clegg. Musicians came together to honour his music. So sad he died last year. This is the fantastic people of South Africa at their best. youtube.com/watch?v=WKWEEpA0…
Excellent report by @CliveMyrieBBC on tonight’s @BBCNews from Royal London Hospital. Really brought alive the challenge facing NHS staff and patients.
Congratulations to @sophieraworth for a day of outstanding coverage of the VE Day celebrations and commemorations.
Thank you to @ClassicFM for a most uplifting weekend of glorious classical music in your Hall of Fame. Just what the nation needed.
The England v South Africa game in Cape Town is definitive proof that reducing Test Matches to four days is utterly ridiculous.
The death of Johnny Clegg was one of the saddest moments of 2019. He was an outstanding ambassador for South Africa.
Outstanding interviews by @sophierraworth during BBC coverage of #RemembranceSunday. They really conveyed what a debt we owe to those who served and who serve today.
This has to be one of the most memorable on-stage moments. Two great figures no longer with us. youtube.com/watch?v=BGS7SpI7…
Well done @MaxduPreez & @JohnKani2 for their excellent, most gracious tributes at the memorial service for #JohnnyClegg

To me, #JohnnyGlegg wrote the soundtrack for the society we should aspire to. A giant tree in our forest has fallen.
So sad to hear of the death of #Johnnyclegg. Great music legend and outstanding ambassador for South Africa.
Outstanding coverage over the past few days by @CliveMyrieBBC of the Sri Lanka attacks.

My thoughts are with the people of Lockerbie today. 30 years ago tonight, I was one of the first BBC reporters to arrive at this terrible tragedy. I can still remember the awful scenes. Services mark Lockerbie bombing 30th anniversary bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-s…
