Jon Snow presents his final Channel 4 News programme 

I’ve been watching this man for decades and for me he will be sorely missed such an honest and noble journalist of a high quality👌❤️👌

A giant among journalists. A man of honesty, and integrity. A man viewers could trust. Thank you Jon for all your reports over the decades.

My name is Bertie Woodcock, I am the president of the students Union at the University of Liverpool. Photos of Jon occupying university buildings during his time with us in protest of the Universities investments in Apartheid South Africa coat the walls of one of our hallways in the students union. A true legend from then till now.

Nothing but a legend for my entire adult life, truly the end of an era ✊🏼🖤

I’m a South African who lived in England from 1995 to 2008 and now lives in Australia. So I have a knowledge of at least three countries national TV station broadcasters. This man is/was the best anchor ever

A man of huge integrity. Fabulous journalist, documentarian and human being. Wishing you well on your retirement.

Jon's humanity always shone through. He offered respect and friendliness while interviewing with confidence and fearlessness - a difficult balance that was attributable to his personal charm. He was this wonderful British institution that was always there throughout my life. By now he'd become the most eminent and senior broadcaster in the UK. Very moving at the end to see his obviously genuine regard for the crew. Best wishes for his retirement!

Jon's departure is like a major bereavement. There was something really authoritative and reassuring about his presence, that will be sorely missed!!

I met Jon Snow several times, living fairly close to him in north London. I first had the opportunity to chat while we shopped at Bumblebees whole food shop. To my great surprise he remembered me next time he saw me. We discussed food, bikes (he liked mine, I was honoured) and of course, news events. He was always a gentleman, really switched on, kind. A great man. Tall!

God bless you Jon Snow. You were a just man standing up for the oppressed in Palestine, Syria and globally. The prayers of many people are for you Sir. God bless you and Guide you in your ways

Jon Snow will be missed by many people in many countries. A man with integrity! I'm happy to hear he's not quitting television and I look forward to seeing his future documentaries.

I’m 26 and have been watching Channel 4 News for as long as I can remember. I honestly believe it is Jon and the team’s journalistic talent, integrity and thirst for truth that have inspired me to travel the world and see people as more than just ‘strangers’; I’m considering a career in journalism myself! Best of luck Jon and may we all recognise the service you have made to reporting the news as it really is ❤️

"The best lefty of the telly" and far more embrassing and intelligent, I'm going to sorely miss your smooth voice, and truthfulness x

What a man! I agree that with the sentiment that one of your viewers commented, that Jon's sharpness and persistence with chasing the truth, gave us comfort as our vanguard. Thank you very Jon for your service.

I spent a couple of weeks doing renovations at Jon Snow's house in the 90's, he is genuinly as decent off screen as he is on it. Each morning he greeted us with a cuppa and a chat. .

Coming to the UK from Syria, I knew very little then about British journalism. This is until John Snow remarkably immersed my curious appetite for understanding the world around me in a sea of knowledge. He stretched this understanding in an unbiased, fair, courageous, intelligent and charming style of reporting. This rich and diverse style made him exceptionally accessible. His journalism is world class.

I've been a fan of Jon Snow since my early childhood, and I'm already missing him as Channel 4 News presenter. Jon, I just want to wish you all the very best for the future and what endeavours there may be. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas.

Seriously, when I see Snow, I immediately noticed that he was better than the other journalists, WAY more. Such a great, humble man. 👋👍💕 A true English man! 💖

This is truly a sad day in British TV, news, politics and history! Jon Snow has been doing his best through his career to keep those in power accountable for their actions, asking the questions that so desperately need an explanation …. A giant of journalism has left ridiculously enormous shoes to fill! Enjoy your well earned retirement Mr Snow, you truly are the living embodiment of honesty, integrity and compassion.

Channel 4 News will never be the same without him, for me he is an honest journalist reporting real news if you compare this to other news institutions. He will be missed dearly. All the best Jon, true hero for us growing up watching you. #truth

It has been an honour and privilege to have lived through a time with Jon at the helm on the box. Wish you all the best with the future Jon.

I discovered Channel 4 News 1985 when I commenced my studies in London. I have always enjoyed you and your co presenters, many years later and thanks to the evolving technology I was able to continue that enjoyment from Barbados. You have broaden my understanding of the world. Thanks.

So sorry to hear. We’ll all miss you Seán ó Sneachta. You’ve been the voice and face of current affairs for me and a two whole generations. You’ll be sorely missed. Grá mór as Eireann ❤️❤️

Saw the big man himself give a talk when I was at college and it was hands down one of the best live experiences I've ever had. A phenomenally interesting and charming man, on and off screen

Well as sad as it is to see him go, it's been a pleasure to watch him all these years, this got me right in the feels !

Last of the real journalists.

Thanks for the memories Jon - all the very best.

Look at that montage what a great career and through it all John has shown compassion, understanding and integrity. Hope we see plenty more of him in the future

Will be deeply missed more than any other journalist and presenter in modern times in Britain. He was firm but fair and humble in his reporting. Hope we , see him again in Big Fat Quiz of the Year!

“Not all that glitters is gold” 😂 words to live by.

Thank you Jon. You leave us when journalism is in a perilous state. Your honesty integrity and humanity are an example to us all. Enjoy your retirement

We're seriously going to miss you Jon.

Jon, you are an absolute legend. You have been a shining light of journalistic integrity and a stalwart of our democratic landscape. You will be sorely missed.

whole world knows him. very humble gentleman. wishing you all the best on your retirement. merry christmas...!

Its his compassion and integrity, a complete legend

Jon is one of the reasons why I have decided to become a journalist, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

a great servant to the public, a proper journalist, who never gave up his principles.

Leyend. Moved from Spain and lived in the UK for 10 years. Jon Snow showed me what good journalims could be. How to ask tough but fair questions and how to let the audience reach use their critical thinking to form an opinion. Jon, you have been an example and an inspiration and to me a benchmark of how much good real journalism can do if we let it flourish. In these times of skepticism about news and journalist, you and the legacy you leave behind are a beacon of hope. Thank you

John Snow is the best British journalist of our times. A legend, superb human being and a wonderful professional;who served humanity and touched the lives of real people through his integrity and fair journalism. His natural ability to relate to people of all ages and backgrounds made him irreplaceable. We’ll always miss him greatly. Thank you John, your contributions are immense Best wishes for your retirement

One legendry broadcasting career come to an end godspeed Jon you shall be missed by millions of viewers

What a man. I don't want TV anymore but when I did c4 news was the best. He will be missed.

One of the best journalist, broadcaster ever! His search for truth, his honesty, integrity and empathy for others was beautiful to watch. I love Jon Snow and cried after watching Channel 4 news tonight.😢

Master of his craft. I know I'm getting old when the when the main man retires. Bless you Mr Snow.

Thank you for sharing this and thank you Jon for your excellent journalism over the years

Great Career John 👏. We are proud of you.

What a legend. His presence was familiar and comforting. Truly a national treasure.

Finest television journalist in my lifetime. Thank you Jon.

I’ve been watching the Channel 4 news for over 15 years, and he’s been a stalwart, brilliant and compassionate journalist. My favourite journalist for sure. You’ll be missed.

Thanks for everything John. You are so inspiring to watch.

Will truly miss him but will look out for him in his other projects

I met him when I'm was cycling past the Channel 4 news building.An absolute gentleman...very friendly and nice

Coming from France, in the 80s, I appreciated so much the British way of reporting and my favourite TV news channel was Channel4 , in great part because of Jon Snow. His style was unpretentious and serious: top class!

I watched him from Ireland the guy was a professional never gave a softball interview and asked real questions of high level political figures. He also always took part in the big fat quiz of the year. As a news caster he will be missed.

Top man, best wishes Mr Snow we will miss you. Best of luck whatever you do

Started watching C4 news a few years ago, when Prince died & was amazed that they'd redecorated the studio to honour him (they hadn't). However, I was so impressed with Jon & the crew, the news gathering, the stories, the integrity, the style but also the warmth & humanity that came across, that I became a regular viewer. From your dancing, to guest slots on Last Leg or Big Quiz(?) or the other comedy shows, you're always a class act. And in answer to Krishnans question, have you influenced/altered, yes you have. Many of us, consciously or unconsciously, are drawn to and seek to emulate, those that we admire & hold in great regard. You are such a man. Thank you sir.

You are a legend Jon Snow. Love you and work xx

Jon you will be missed.

best journalist in the last 30 years without a doubt

Simply beautiful. From across the pond, I tip my hat to a wonderful broadcaster. The UK has been fortunate to have such a dignified and honorable journalist to rely on for so many years. For all those "hungry to learn about the world" Mr Snow's presence will be sorely missed. Cheers to such an important career he had!

We love you Jon!!!

Such a great man with integrity and decency. Genuinely feeling a sense of loss right now

I grow up watching Snow. He's very fair on his reporting.

Another national treasure!!! We will miss you so much!!! All the best Jon!

Comes across as a genuine person that oozes integrity and sincerity.

All the best, Jon. Blessings

Wow! I grew up watching this Man so enjoy your time away from the screen and enjoy your time with the family cheers Jon 👍🎉

You know it all, Jon Snow! Heartfelt thanks, from a Brazilian in Poland.

What a gent...genuinely gonna miss him!

Jon has been such an inspiration to myself and people around me ans has always fascinated anyone that listens and watches him. I wish you all the best, Jon Snow!

Thank you mr. Snow. You are Not a class act. You are beyond that. Hallmarks of a great journalist in my opinion: curious, fearless, tenacious, willing to give the interviewee all the space he or she needed to tell his or her side, and questioning on solid grounds in the reasons of what they believe. Journalists like you are sorely needed in this timeframe in the U.K. Thank you again mr. Snow. All the best for your future endeavours. And stay safe and healthy, so we can enjoy your presence on a different platform.

His exposure of the swine flu fraud was a brave act of journalism.

If only we had a PM like Jon snow..

A great presenter, but moreover, a fantastic person.

Thanks for decades of fearless, passionate reporting. I’m pretty sure I don’t agree with your politics but huge gratitude for your immense contribution to the 4th branch of govt!

stay safe legend we gonna miss you

When I was a little lad, my parents would always let me catch the end of Channel 4 News to see Jon Snow, who was described to me as “the man with the great ties and socks.” 😅 Our family used to wave at the TV and saying “Goodnight Jon!” every time he’d sign off. A tradition we kept up for decades and will miss dearly. Top journalist, and even got a chuckle out of us from time to time! My favourite clip has to be Charlie Brooker introducing him to some PlayStation games. 😂 For the last time: Goodnight Jon! 👋

The standards have been set Channel 4.

John is really wise, calm, stylish and great presenter.

There will never be another one like him. Be well, Jon.

He’s going to be missed very much. Nice man I wish him all the best in life.

Thank you Jon Snow. I have watched you as a foreign correspondent and present the news, throughout your career. Your talents as a journalist and presenter are the best that there is, but more than that, you are simply a good person who cares and that comes over in your reporting and questioning. You will be missed. Please enjoy your retirement. If you ever feel you need to report, then there is always RU-vid et al. Platforms that will allow you to do things at your own pace. I don't expect you to do so, or even think you should. It is simply there if you feel you need it. That is the wonderful thing of the age in which we live. Stay safe and enjoy a well earned rest. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Absolutely gutted, I hope his colleagues keep the heritage intact. Thank you Jon.

Jon Snow, thank you for 32 years of quality reporting - simply top class. Best wishes for a long & healthy retirement.

Love to you, Jon, from Belgium!!

This man has been so good for our telly and he has just a great presenter and I and my family are going to miss him

Jon Snow is a Brilliant Reporter,will be missed on Ch4 news.

A great man of integrity I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of years ago. Truly inspiring, he will be missed!

I can't believe we will not see you in 2022 hosting the news with such integrity... You shall be missed, thank you for your clear bright honesty and have a super 2022.

What a superb legacy he leaves behind, going to miss seeing him on my screens. He delivered with sincerity and honesty and is such a character, best of luck for the future Jon

Jon, I’ll miss you. You’re a legend. Good luck mate…

Man of great integrity and humanity!! Thank you Jon you will be sorely missed by so many. I wish you health and happiness.

I hate it when something wonderful comes to an end. Although its a new adventure for Jon and time to truly focus on being a new father. What a loss for us all though. I can't imagine him fully retiring; no doubt he will be back on screen in some capacity.

Wonderful man who has done a wonderful job, thank you 😊

Sometimes it felt like you were one of so very few who were fighting on behalf of those who had been kicked down continuously in life. I was glued to Channel 4 News during grenfell due to your utter honesty. Thanks so much for being our champion Jon.

I was initially raised on Sir Mcdonald then by Jon Snow. As a toddler I wanted to b a news anchor lol. Sad to c another news legend gone. Krishna would actually b a suitable replacement.

Channel 4, one of the few holding politicians to account, sad to see you go Jon, hopefully Channel 4 can find a suitable replacement. Enjoy your future, may it be long and fruitful.

so much respect for Jon Snow.

We love you John Snow. Go well.

all the best, an amazing presenter

He'll always be my absolute favourite reporter. edit: Oh damn it i'm crying.
