I suspect those of us old enough to remember him are surprised that he was still alive 
When I heard it on the radio this morning I had two clear memories come to mind - the Holiday programme and Aberfan. Tribute to his versatility.

Mrs Michelmore lived in Haywards Heath in a terrace victorian cottage in Milton Road which was replaced by Milton Hose office Block and now being converted to Flats/apartments she was related to Cliff.

Aberfan will always stand out as a horrific tragedy. It was reported this morning that it affected Cliff Michelmore very much too. He was a very professional broadcaster.

As others, surprised to think he was still alive.
But, being 62, he was always around on the radio and the television as I grew up, and always eminently watchable and listenable to. The words "consummate professional" get bandied around sometimes, but he really was.

Remember him growing up watching Day by Day on the much missed Southern TV.

My late uncle was on one of the first fire crews to arrive at the scene as he was stationed in Merthyr Tydfil. He never talked about it apart from an unguarded moment when he told my dad that he got flashbacks every time he went to a rugby match and heard the ref's whistle. This was the signal that another body had been located We are planning to go to the 50th anniversary commemoration as his representative.
