Radio and TV legend Terry Wogan has revealed how he found no comfort in God when his baby girl Vanessa tragically died 3 weeks after she was born in 1966.
The couple married for 50yrs had four children, their first daughter Vanessa died at 3wks old. When little Vanessa died of a heart condition Terry said it broke his and Helen's hearts.
He said: "I remember it all so vividly I remember punching the wall. It's strange, but she's the only one of my children whose face I can remember as a baby.
"I can still see her face. It was a very short time we had with her and I miss her every day. I was extremely resentful of fate, of life and the unfairness.
Sir Terry Wogan's answer was always the same whenever he was asked what meant most to him: family.
"Family is all that really counts," he said. "Family, and being kind".
