It’s been reported that Terry Wogan found out he was dying from cancer three weeks ago.
According to his friend Father Brian D’Arcy, the 77-year-old radio star, who passed away over the weekend, revealed that his health rapidly declined after Christmas.
”I think alarms bells began to ring about three weeks ago. He had been in some pain before that, and he had got through Christmas,” he said.

“And the family had a lovely Christmas because I rang them to specifically to see and everything was fine, and then things began [getting worse].
”Last Thursday, something told me: ‘Brian, go and see him’, and I rang [Terry’s wife] Helen, and she said: ‘Please do come Brian’. I did, and it was the saddest day and the most rewarding day of my life,” he said on RTE Radio 1.
However Brian admitted it would be unlikely that a public funeral will be held for Terry as no venue could be big enough to honour the broadcaster.

He also added that the Limerick native will be laid to rest in England, rather than Ireland.
”How can you have a public funeral for Terry Wogan? Where would you put it? Wembley wouldn’t be big enough for it, so there will probably be just family and friends at a private funeral,” he added.
“I suspect it will be probably early next week. It is in the UK. The BBC usually holds a quite public memorial service later on.”
