I only knew him from his Friday night R2 show an idiosyncratic curated collection of hits old and new. For me he became an integral part of getting away for the weekend.
Great guy.

Don't think he was married

He retired because he was battling Alzheimer and cancer

A lovely man who was very much loved and admired by his colleagues

RIP Desmond

Some of us were forced to watch it.

It was Norman Rossington's daughter I was thinking of.

Didn't watch Crossroads and never heard any reference to him having children.

The lovely Desmond Carrington has died aged 90. I first remember him as Dr Chris Anderson in Emergency Ward 10. I have listened to him for years on Radio 2. He retired late last year.

RIP <3
