Best known as a presenter on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and Top of the Pops, Janice Long has died. In a career that spanned five decades, she was the first woman to have her own daily show on Radio 1.
As the first woman to do so, she presented Top of the Pops for five years and had a late-night slot on Radio 2, before, latterly, being a DJ for BBC Radio 6 Music for two years, from its launch date in 2002.
She was also best-known for being one of the main presenters of the Live Aid charity concert in 1985.
Born in Liverpool, her brother was fellow presenter Keith Chegwin, who died in 2017.
During her career she was a judge for the Mercury Music Awards and a patron of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, founded by Sir Paul McCartney.
Passionate about music and championed many artists long before they achieved chart success, she also presented a show on Greatest Hits Radio. Her agent, Nigel Forsyth, described Long as a "wonderful, warm human being and exceptional broadcaster".
"She told a brilliant story and always made you roar with laughter with her sharp wit," he said, adding that she leaves behind her husband Paul and two children who "she thought the world of."
Colin Paterson, head of BBC Radio Wales, said her radio programmes were never about herself but were seen as an opportunity to discover, share and champion music. "There are few people who have done more to nurture new talent from music and the arts, and supporting Welsh language music ever since " he said.
She was 66.
