Lady Helen Wogan, the wife of late TV veteran Sir Terry Wogan, has died after a “fantastic life”, her son has announced.
Mark Wogan said he hoped his mother and father, who died from cancer in January 2016 at the age of 77, were “sharing a vodka martini and hoping we don’t make too much of fuss”.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Mr Wogan shared a video featuring pictures of his mother and father over the years writing: “Lady Helen Wogan 1936-2024”.
“Our beautiful mum left us last night after a fantastic life,” he wrote.
“From a young Irish rose to Lady Wogan, she was the epitome of style and grace.
“A mother, grandmother and wife, with love and kindness at her core. A strength and a belief that saw her through many of life’s trials.
“A sense of humour and a turn of phrase that would have you in fits of laughter.
“A proper lady in every sense of the word.”
