Andrew Marr has signed off from his long-running BBC politics show with a line from his "mentor" - the Anchorman character Ron Burgundy.

The veteran broadcaster has left the BBC after more than two decades, including 16 years at the helm of his own Sunday morning show.

He joined the BBC in May 2000 as political editor, but said he was 'keen to get my own voice back' when he announced his departure in November.

Bringing his final programme to a close, he said: "That it is, all over, I have been so lucky and so privileged to share so many Sunday mornings with you."
