The long-serving DJ, who spent almost three decades at BBC Radio 2, died "peacefully at home" on Monday afternoon with his wife Alicia by his side, a family spokesman said.

Sir Jimmy was one of the original Radio 1 DJs when the station launched in 1967.

He moved to Radio 2 in 1973 and filled the early afternoon slot until he retired in December 2002.

Before becoming a presenter on the airwaves, Sir Jimmy had a number of hit singles during the 1950s, including a cover of the Nat King Cole song, Too Young.

With the loss of Terry Wogan earlier this year we have certainly lost two radio greats.

Very sad.

Sad to hear although I never took to the guy myself, and one of the greats? Hmm.
