Fans gush with praise for Children in Need Rocks tribute to Sir Terry Wogan
The celebrity-studded concert at London's Royal Albert Hall paid tribute to the veteran broadcaster and charity supporter who died in January
SIR Terry Wogan's life was honoured during tonight's celebrity-studded Children in Need Rocks leaving fans of the broadcaster, who tragically died in January, in tears as they admitted the show "melted their heart."
The charity was close to Sir Terry's heart for a huge chunk of his career and the gig, aired on BBC One, continued to raise money in his memory.
DJ's Fearne Cotton and Greg James hosted the event at London's Royal Albert Hall with X Factor star Olly Murs opening proceedings with a Frank Sinatra classic.
He was followed up by boyband The Vamps, who took on one of Sir Terry's favourite Beach Boys hits, Surfin' USA.
Fans quickly took to social media to give the thumbs up to the jam-packed charity extravaganza.
The Bodyguard musical star Beverley Knight belted out Whitney Houston classic I Will Always Love You - yet producers failed to show her dramatic collapse on-stage during the filming of the show earlier this month.
Another posted: "Left for work at 7:30am & just got home, switched on the tv & TakeThat are performing a tribute to Terry Wogan. *full emotional breakdown*"

A TV fan added: "Loved the tribute to Sir Terry Wogan Children in need God Bless, Gone but never forgotten RIP x" while another shared their views, but thought the show should have a prime time slot, with "#TerryWogan a Monday night ?Sir Terry deserves a Saturday night prime spot #totallegend should release cd of Terry's fave tunes #fundraiser."
