‘Her and Dad are hopefully sharing a vodka martini’: Son of Terry Wogan pays tribute to mum

The son of Terry Wogan has paid tribute to his mother, who passed away on Thursday evening.

Helen Wogan, the wife of the late broadcaster Terry Wogan, died aged 88 after living a “fantastic life”.

Announcing the news on Instagram, her son, Mark, paid a heartfelt tribute to Helen, whom he described as the “epitome of style and grace”.

“Our beautiful Mum left us last night after a fantastic life. From a young Irish rose to Lady Wogan , she was the epitome of style and grace,” he wrote.

“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. Her and Dad are hopefully sharing a vodka martini and hoping we don’t make too much of fuss. We love you Mum, now and forever.”
