According to those that knew him he was a good human being. More important than what you do for a living. God rest his soul.

His name rang a bell for me, although he was after my time in the UK for the most part. Too young.

I was always pleased when George Alagia was reading the news. He was a superb broadcaster who always came across as someone who really cared about the things he was informing us of.

Giants of broadcasting have spoken about him, and the words they used tell me about George the man - kind, gentle, thoughtful, delightful, fun but not a saint.

May you rest in peace, George.

This tribute from Sophie Rayworth is most poignant.
