Linda McDermott thanked a long list of colleagues and loved ones
A much-loved BBC Radio Merseyside presenter said a tearful farewell to listeners after 16 years on the late show.
In a final farewell to listeners, former Liverpool ECHO reporter Linda thanked a long list of colleagues and loved ones who surrounded her for her final show, as well as loyal listeners who formed her "under the duvet club." Met with a massive applause from the room, Linda also shared her plans for the future.
"But as The Spinners said, It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darlings when I think of you. God bless you, thankyou for all the kindness over the years. Former Lord Mayor of Liverpool Gary Millar said in a post on Facebook: "It’s so sad that Linda’s show is ending. Her late night shows remind us of why the BBC is lovingly called Auntie Beeb. Because, like a good, old-fashioned Auntie she knew what was best for everyone, and took pride in her 'high standards'.
