A man who's presence of TV never seemed to wane, no matter what his age.

Regardless of whether you had any interest in his subject matter, you couldn't help but be enthused by his love for it.

And he played a mean xylophone too!

Rest in peace.

Oh no, this is SO sad.

A totally & utterly incredible man.

RIP Sir Patrick, you gave so much pleasure to so many, for so long.

Shared a birthday with him, which made we watch him when I was younger.


RIP.

Sad

Think a lot of people will look at the stars tonight and think of him.

RIP

Absolutely. The Sky at night was such a beautiful programme.

More than that, I'd say that just about everyone now working in astronomy/astrophysics in this country first got into it though watching The Sky At Night as a kid.

Patrick's failing health in recent years meant his role on the show had been reduced to essentially nothing more than mascot (he could barely talk) so the show can continue with established presenters.
