A Northern Ireland broadcasting legend was laid to rest on Monday.
The funeral took place in County Down of David Dunseith who presented the "Talkback" program on BBC RadioUlster for over 20 years from 1989.
The veteran journalist died last Thursday after a short battle with cancer.
Mass was held at the Star of the Sea Church, Strangford, with the funeral to Roselawn Crematorium in Belfast.
Dunseith's career spanned four decades before he retired earlier this year. He Dunseith began his career in Ulster Television, anchoring the nightly news program "UTV Reports" at the height of the Troubles in the 1970s.
He later joined BBC Northern Ireland as a political journalist and analyst, presenting the television current affairs program Spotlight.
However, it was with "Talkback" that he will be best remembered. Chairing topical debates and grilling the North's politicians every lunch-time five days a week, the show built up a huge following.
In 1993 he won Local Broadcaster of the Year at the Sony Awards for his role in the program.
The program also won a Gold Sony Award in 1997 for Best Phone-in/Topical Debate.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness was one of several politicians attending the funeral. Many colleagues past and present were also in the congregation for the service.
Speaking after his death was announced, McGuinness said Mr. Dunseith made Talkback "unmissable."
"David was for me, and I am sure many others, quite simply the voice of radio here," he added.
First Minister Peter Robinson said he was a "consummate professional" and "one of our greatest broadcasters."
Mr. Dunseith had retired from BBC Northern Ireland this year. He ended his career on Radio Ulster presenting the Seven Days show on Sunday afternoons.
