The Six One News is a staple of many Irish households down through the years. If you were young, you’d pray your parents didn’t come in so you could stay watching The Simpsons on RTÉ 2.

Many presenters have come and gone from Anne Doyle to Bryan Dobson, although there’s still a lot of love for him every time he appears on screen.
As Wednesday is the 30th anniversary of the programme, RTÉ have shared a montage of some of the presenters and an evolution of the news down through the years including the very first broadcast.
