RTÉ's Aengus Mac Grianna has said goodbye to the newsroom tonight after 30 years with the national broadcaster.
He gave his last news bulletin tonight - a St Patrick's Day special - and if he was hoping to slip away quietly, that was not to be the case.
We were treated to a video summing up some of Aengus's best moments and, of course, the infamous "what?!" made it in there.
Among other highlights were his first broadcast, the time be sported a goatee, a blooper or two and his time on RTÉ's Celebrity Masterchef.

Signing off for the last time, Aengus said: "It's been a privilege to sit in this chair down through the years and be welcomed in your homes.
"Thank you for that and your kindness, I've had a wonderful time."
His colleagues took to Twitter to bid the newscaster farewell.
Farewell @Aengy2

Aenges Mac Grianna always shows something not all of us in the mainstream media display.
