Farewell, #BarryHumphries. You stole every show, every time. youtu.be/kdRC16hNtoo

‘This sceptred isle, this earth of majesty, this little world, this precious stone set in the silver sea, this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England’ Happy #StGeorgesDay from the finest city in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🐉 #Somerset 📷 @theperkspective

Much has changed in 70 years, but one thing stays the same. The #BBC’s unique public service role in bringing the UK together and connecting the world with the best of the UK’s values. #Coronation

Cheering on our local boy during his big gig at the #Coronation. Good to see Bishop Michael is as 😊 as ever. ⁦Diocese of Bath & Wells⁩

‘And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery’ Happy #Somerset Day from a city of whispered voices from centuries past. 📷 The Perkspective ⭐️

I first met ⁦@thehuwedwards⁩ 25 years ago on a university course. He was clever, generous and funny. Above all, passionate about ⁦BBC News (UK)⁩. In my experience Huw is also unfailingly committed to supporting and developing others. And like all of us, he’s human.

The soundtrack to a British summer starts tonight. The incomparable ⁦BBC Proms⁩. Season 128 marks my 42nd consecutive year ⁦Royal Albert Hall⁩. Always the same, but different every time #bbcproms ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩

Facilitating an event in Broadcasting House for team leaders across the #BBC. Faced all day by memories of the past as we look into the future BBC

For one night only, we’re ‘young, scrappy and hungry’ and have {finally} succumbed to ⁦Hamilton⁩. Anything we need to know?

At my post for the Carol Service ⁦The Methodist Church⁩ in Wells. Still praying and hoping for peace on earth. Despite everything. #Christmas

‘I put all the love and beauty In the spirit of the night And I'm holding my ticket tight. Stupidity and suffering Are on that ticket, too And I'm going down the dip with you’ Happy birthday, ⁦Roddy Frame⁩. 60 today, but forever the Boy Wonder. May we see you live again.

Sitting alone in University Hospital Southampton 💙⁩ foyer, watching very sick patients being supported quietly by friends and family. Remember that opening scene from Heathrow Airport⁩ in #LoveActually? They should have shot it here. #Love

Happy Picking Proms Day! 3000 performers, 90 concerts, 1 BBC* {*and my 43rd season} #BBCProms ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩ ⁦Sam Jackson⁩ bbc.com/mediacentre/me…

Democratic duty done. I like the new name of our constituency. Wells and the Mendip Hills. Brings to mind an England of the past, long before smartphones. Muddy boots, a slobbering Labrador and afternoon tea from a bone China set. #GeneralElection

4 hours at Bristol Eye Hospital. Privileged to experience remarkable team. Reception, Triage, Nurses, Screeners, Consultants. Calmly, capably giving wholehearted commitment every time. Endless repetition, but every patient (including me) made to feel special ⁦University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS FT⁩

The always-on #BBC is brilliant for breaking news. But we all need to switch off, relax and reflect at times. BBC Radio 3 Unwind creates calm and compassion in the storm. Bravo, Sam Jackson and team. bbc.com/mediacentre/20…

Happy birthday, ⁦Roddy Frame⁩; the soundtrack to my life for 42 years. 61 today, but forever The Boy Wonder.

Mission Accomplished. Made the finish line for ⁦BBC Proms⁩ tickets from 9000th in the queue. Bravo, ⁦Royal Albert Hall⁩ team for optimum online orchestration. May the summer begin, ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩ and ⁦Sam Jackson⁩ #BBCProms 🎶

When I was 12, a friend took me to the BBC Proms. We've been going every year since: 45 seasons in a row. In 2025, just before the first night, it feels like 1980 all over again. In a changing world, the BBC Proms endures – different every time but always the same. BBC Radio 3
