Tony Blair pays tribute to BBC WM presenter Ed Doolan

Former prime minister Tony Blair has paid a warm tribute to veteran broadcaster Ed Doolan, who has died at the age of 76.

Mr Blair described the BBC WM presenter as a "really memorable interviewer" who was "a master of all the facts".

He was the first local radio presenter to be inducted into the Radio Academy Hall of Fame, in 2004.
