One of the most familiar and trusted faces and voices on TV and Radio news in the North of England and later with Sky, has died.

Warm tributes have been paid to Trevor Green who was a ‘stalwart’ of Granada TV and earlier Piccadilly Radio for decades.

His warm, friendly but decisive journalism was admired by colleagues and the audience.

In a tweet on X which was reprinted across the national and regional media, Rob McLoughlin, said it ‘is so sad to say goodbye’ and described him as ‘super journalist and colleague’.

Trevor was 74 years old and died on his birthday. RIP.
