Police 5 presenter Shaw Taylor has died, aged 90.
The broadcaster was best known for hosting the ITV crime show for 30 years from 1962.
The show was a precursor to BBC One's Crimewatch, in which he asked members of the public to help solve crimes by contacting the programme.
He passed away at his home in Totland on the Isle of Wight on Wednesday (March 18), with partner Shirley Ferrari at his bedside.
Taylor was famous for using the catchphrase, "Keep 'em peeled".
Friend John Hannam, from Isle of Wight Radio, said: "He loved his catchphrase being thrown back at him. He loved it if people called out in the street, he was in his element.
"He was one of the true gents of the industry, it was a privilege to know him."
The broadcaster was also known for hosting gameshows including Password, Tell the Truth, Dotto, This Is Your Chance and The Law Game.
