Transcript

00:00So, just before we end today's programme, a couple of moments to reflect on the past

00:0636 years here at Sky News, our birthday today.

00:10From a standing start to one of the most recognised and valued brands in global news, it's been

00:15an honour and a privilege to work with some of the best and hardest working teams in the

00:19business.

00:20News, by its very nature, is often devastating and together we've covered so many life-changing

00:25events from the tragic death of Diana, the shocking terror attack of 9-11, the Asian

00:30tsunami, the Concord air disaster.

00:33But we've also enjoyed some wonderful high notes too, haven't we, the thrill of London

00:38winning the chance to host the 2012 Olympics, a plethora of royal weddings, jubilees and

00:44who can forget days and days and days of waiting for royal babies to arrive at the Lindo Wing.

00:51But after over a million minutes of live TV news, more than anyone else in the world,

00:56it's time for me to indulge in some of my other passions, including my love for travel.

01:01So, after covering 12 separate general elections, including Sakhir Starmer's victory last year

01:07and retiring from Sky News, let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news.

01:13Thank you for waking up and tuning in every morning, I can't tell you how much I've appreciated

01:18your support over the last three and a half decades.

01:21You're awesome.

01:22I'll post more on my social media and hope to see you around.

01:25Please keep in touch.
