BBC newsreader George Alagiah has died at the age of 67 following a battle with cancer.
The journalist, who hosted the Six for the last 20 years, revealed in 2014 that he had been diagnosed with stage-four bowel cancer and last year he shared the news that it had spread to other parts of his body.
In a statement, his agent Mary Greenham said: "I am so terribly sorry to inform you that George Alagiah died peacefully today, surrounded by his family and loved ones.
"George fought until the bitter end but sadly that battle ended earlier today.
"George was deeply loved by everybody who knew him, whether it was a friend, a colleague or a member of the public. He simply was a wonderful human being.
"My thoughts are with Fran, the boys and his wider family."
Alagiah is survived by his wife Frances and their two children.
