BBC Essex news article and obituary for Johnnie Walker https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24nm3y1rgpo

31/12/2024

The trustees of the Pharos Trust along with the management of Radio Mi Amigo are saddened to hear of the passing of Johnnie Walker who has been the Patron of The Trust for two decades.

Johnnie's illustrious career intersected with the LV18 during his many Pirate BBC Essex broadcasts. Those broadcasts were a part of our own foundation and paved the way for the success of our own projects.

It was our privilege to receive a phone call from Johnnie on the 11th of August when he spoke live on Radio Mi Amigo with his former Radio Caroline and BBC colleague Keith 'Cardboard Shoes' Skues.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Tiggy and his family at this sad time. He will be missed by all aboard the LV18.

We broadcast an obituary at 2200 on New Years Eve. It is available on our site.
