Everyone at U105 would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of local radio presenter Stephen Clements, who has died suddenly at the age of 47.
Image from BBC News NI.
Our thoughts and prayers this evening are with the family of our former colleague Aideen Kennedy.
Aideen was a member of our news team on the station over a number of years. May she rest in peace.
Popular TV newscaster Aideen Kennedy has died shortly after announcing she had a terminal illness on social media and asking people to “keep an eye out” for her children.
It was with great sadness that we all learned of the passing of our former presenter Paul McKenna.
Paul passed away yesterday after illness and his funeral will take place this weekend.
Our sympathies and thoughts are with his family and friends.

we’ve just had the best journey on the 12.33 from mossley to Londonderry. Our train conductor Ryan went above and beyond and made sure we got a 4seat table, he even carried our cases there. When we arrived he also lifted ours and other passengers cases down.
Hello

Check out this incredible yacht that's pulled up outside the U105 offices!!
We've asked around, but don't think it belongs to any of our presenters (although we haven't spoken to our Johnny
@herobelfast
yet).
Who do you think might own this?
It is with the upmost sadness that we learn of the passing of our friend, former player, coach, mentor & ambassador Anto Finnegan. This world has lost a fine man.
Our deepest sympathies to Alison, Conall, Ava & the Finnegan & Dowdall families
