Innit?! Whenever I hear the channel 4 news theme tune, I instinctively hear John Show's plummy accent -
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.
A man of huge integrity. Fabulous journalist, documentarian and human being. Wishing you well on your retirement.

Snow routinely pushed for Washington's enemies to be overthrown, flip flopped on poppy-wearing and was eulogised by British heads of government, which tells one all they need to know. It's pretty shameful to see so many adults gushing over an idol.
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!

You cannot deny the truth the truth always comes out John snow was not a purveyor of the truth and the vast majority know that.
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 ❤️
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'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!

I met Jon Snow in 1945 just after the great famine. I asked him about his time in Game of Thrones. He pulled a knife out on me so I head butted him. I think it was him. Could have been Peter Snow?
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.
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 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.

And in the end, Winston learned to love Big Brother.
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 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. .

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.
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.
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!
One legendry broadcasting career come to an end godspeed Jon you shall be missed by millions of viewers
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
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.
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.
whole world knows him. very humble gentleman. wishing you all the best on your retirement. merry christmas...!
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!
What a man. I don't want TV anymore but when I did c4 news was the best. He will be missed.
Thank you for sharing this and thank you Jon for your excellent journalism over the years

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! 👋
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.😢

I don't know what your measure of truth is, but much of C4 News's mandate is to elaborate on certain stories, this is no virtue on Snow's part. Until the BBC and C4 enrage Washington (as RT does), I'll continue to put domestic bickering down to theatre, in order to maintain the illusion of a free press.

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 KZread 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.
Jon you will be missed.
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.
I grow up watching Snow. He's very fair on his reporting.
A great presenter, but moreover, a fantastic person.
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.

Jon Snow WAS Channel 4 news, so this is truly the end of an era. He's been doing it since the year i was born, so i grew up watching him and his ties and this feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. That last minute was very emotional, and lovely tribute to play out the extended C4 News theme in his honour (also poignant given Alan Hawkshaw who composed that theme only passed away a couple of months ago)
