John Humphrys has been a presenter on the Today programme for 32 years in a journalism career spanning six decades. He presented his final show on Today, bidding farewell to colleagues but more importantly the audience. "You really are the backbone of our country. You care about our democracy," he said. "I am more proud than I can say that you have put up with me for so long."

The former prime minister, David Cameron, talks about his failures and regrets in John Humphrys' final interview for Today. He denied asking the Queen about "anything that would be in any way improper" and said the result of the referendum pained him every day. (Picture: David Cameron. Credit: BBC)

Tony Blair, the former Labour prime minister, talks about the importance of accountability in his final interview with John Humphrys. He said that Boris Johnson's absence from the Today programme since he became prime minister "probably means that he is anxious about a sustained and forensic analysis of what he is trying to do." Paying tribute to Mr Humphrys, Mr Blair said: "I’m hesitating to say whether it has been a pleasure. It was often a pleasure. It was occasionally not a pleasure. But it was always worthwhile."
