Tributes have been paid to BBC Radio Devon presenter, Tony Beard, who has died at the age of 79 over the weekend.
Tony, affectionately known as the "Wag from Widdicombe", had been a presenter for more than 30 years. He had been fighting cancer, but died peacefully on Saturday morning, his family said.
His services to local radio were recognised in 2012 when he received a Lifetime Achievement award. We'll have more on BBC Spotlight and Radio Devon through the day.
