Broadcaster and presenter David Jacobs, whose career spanned seven decades, has died at the age of 87, BBC announces


Jacobs, who stepped down from his Radio 2 programme last month due to ill health, died at home "surrounded by his family", the BBC said in a statement.


He started at the BBC in 1945, hosting shows including Housewives' Choice, Juke Box Jury and Any Questions.


BBC director general Tony Hall hailed him as "one of the great broadcast personalities".


"As a young and avid viewer of Jukebox Jury, I remember him every week scoring the hits and misses," he said.


"And I was still listening to him just last month as he fronted his show The David Jacobs Collection on Radio 2."


He added: "We shall all miss him tremendously."
