I’ve never been prouder to work for BBC News, and never been more certain of its value, than I have this week. @bbclysedoucet and every brave presenter, reporter, producer, editor and camera operator, thank you and stay safe.

We’ve just given this to our 16 yr old before his #SQAResults tomorrow, so he knows this is how we feel regardless. It’s been a rough few months and he’s remained the caring, hardworking, and completely dependable boy we adore. He’ll succeed whatever his exams certificate says x

It's 13 years today since my lovely Dad died. I'm still amazed that the simple, overwhelming urge to see him again can wave over me, or almost knock me down, at any point - every single day. I miss you Dad xxx

It’s my BBC birthday. 20 years ago today, 24 year old me started working on the radio news desk at @BBCRadioScot. @Billwhiteford was editing Newsdrive. Today, we’re presenting #bbcgms together. Still feeling lucky🎙🎧

Huge well done to my amazing boy and others with #Dyslexia and other learning differences, who had to work even harder for their exam results 👏🏻 I couldn’t be prouder of him because he tried his best.

Nick was a huge, bright light. Unforgettably funny, kind, clever and multi talented. We were so lucky to know and work with him and his shocking loss is just devastating. All my love to the family and friends he adored. Rest well Nick x
"Nick has been a wonderful colleague. He was a hugely talented journalist, presenter and author – and one of those rare people who light up the lives of everyone around them."
Head of News & Current Affairs at BBC Scotland Gary Smith pays tribute to Nick Sheridan.

You know it’s Friday when you hit snooze on all 3 of your alarms, and iron only the front and arms of your top because the back won’t be visible on TV 😂
I’ll have the (uncrumpled) news every half hour from 0625 on BBC1 Scotland 📺

I struggled to read out on the radio the heartbreaking news that former BBC Reporting Scotland editor Diarmid O'Hara has died. Sending love and comfort to his wife @yvonnehohara, children Cormac, Sinead and Patrick, brother @BrendanOHaraMP and the whole wonderful O'Hara family.

Listening to these two legends for the final time this morning. They’ll be hugely missed. Isabel has been my broadcasting idol since I was a journalism student. Brilliantly clever, elegant, funny, and a kind and wonderful friend x
Good morning! We’re on at our usual time of 0800 this morning with Isabel Fraser and Gordon Brewer. Tune in @BBCRadioScot @BBCSounds #bbcgms

Forever grateful to the lovely friends and neighbours who’ve seen us though social isolation this week. Numerous offers, and food gifts just left at the door, as well as video calls to keep in touch. We can and must all do this and help each other along the way. Stay home 🏠
