I can't add much more to the BBC report yesterday other than I was fortunate to sit beside her on a flight to Lyon in the late 1980s and enjoyed one of the best flights ever.
She was full of fun and her ironic sense of humour was terrific.

Sleep well Annie and thanks for the fun and music.

That is very sad news.

Annie Nightingale was such an important pioneering and influential person.

Lee, That was Mary Costello and yes I played numerous live sessions on Mary's show on BBC's Greater London Radio right through the '90s.

I never met Anne Nightingale. I was at the BBC a few times when she was doing a show, but I never bumped into her.
