On a terribly sad day, lets remember what Bill did best; make us laugh.
Following the very sad news that the iconic Irish broadcaster
Bill O'Herlihy has sadly passed away, we decided to look back at some of his most famous moments.
It's unlikely that Ireland will ever see a broadcaster that was as talented and beloved as Bill, because one of his most endearing qualities was his ability to diffuse a situation with a wry smile, brilliant joke or self-deprecating remark.
Here are some of our favourite moments.
