BBC Radio Derby presenter Andy Potter has died.

Andy had been with Radio Derby since 1999.

"Radio Today" has a tribute to him, here.

BBC Radio Derby broadcast a tribute to 55 year-old Andy, on the 27th February, with more information here.

Simon Cornes, the station's editor, said he would be "deeply missed".
He said: "Andy is going to be deeply missed by all his friends at Radio Derby as well as the thousands of listeners who regularly tuned into his programmes.
"He's been a big part of the station for many years and it's hard to imagine the place without him.
"Andy was a Derby man through and through and a great champion of the city's arts scene."
