THEY are as much a part of this corner of England as the New Forest or the Spinnaker tower. It is a tradegy that they are forced to part at this time.
They are unique in the very special way in which over the years using thier personal chemistry, they have brought this area's news into our homes.
Like Carl Tyler and the QE 2, they are irreplaceable!
