Bryan Dobson has talked about the moment he “choked up” on air following the death of his friend and former RTÉ colleague, Charlie Bird , earlier this year.
The celebratory atmosphere turned poignant, however, when Bryan was asked about his late friend, Charlie Bird, who died last March after a long and brave battle with Motor Neurone Disease .“Charlie was a great battler. He was a tremendous fighter,” he said. “And I was on air the day word came through that he had passed away.
“That was the moment I choked up,” Bryan recalled. “Fortunately, I think she could see it and she kept talking because it took me a couple of beats to get back. “He would say ‘How was your day?’ and ‘What was your favourite class?’ and ‘What did you learn in that class?’ and ‘Why was that interesting?’ and really dig down deep into it.
