Terry's former Manx Radio colleague, Charles Guard, paid tribute live on the Breakfast programme this morning:

Managing Director of Manx Radio, Chris Sully, said: “On behalf of all of Terry’s many friends at Manx Radio, I’d like to say how sorry we were to hear of his passing.

"Terry was a fantastic and much respected journalist and presenter. His ‘History Man’ feature is still hugely popular on the Sunday Breakfast show and is one of our most listened to podcasts and downloads.

"Terry and I had some happy times exchanging stories about our respective times with the Royal Air Force and I’ll miss his humour, knowledge and the glint in his eye as he recalled the people and places he’d come across.

"Broadcasting House has a huge Terry Cringle shaped hole at its heart today”.
