The Mayor of Limerick, Councillor Kieran O’Hanlon confirmed that plans were underway to erect a statue in memory of Terry which will feature the presenter sitting on a bench with a microphone in his hand, as if he’s interviewing someone.

“Sir Terry was loved and adored throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and never forgot where he came from,” Kieran told local newspaper The Limerick Leader.

“He was a wonderful ambassador for Ireland and Limerick. He was proud to be from Limerick, and to be an Irishman in Britain at a time when it was hard, during the IRA bombings.

“I have spoken to his family about the plans and will be in consultation with them again over the coming weeks
