Veteran broadcaster Philip Sherry has died at the age of 87.
His family says he passed away peacefully yesterday after a short illness.
Sherry was one of the country's longest-serving newsreaders, his 30-year career best remembered as being the face of news bulletins for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, which became Television One.
Philip Sherry was succeeded as the channel's newsreader in the late 1980s by Judy Bailey, who spoke to Kim Hill.
