Former 2ZB Wellington host Lindsay Yeo has died at the age of 78. 

His family say he died peacefully at his home in Richmond on Tuesday afternoon.

Yeo hosted the top-rating breakfast show from 1972 to 1995, consistently taking the number one spot until the late 1980s. 

Working with him at 2ZB were broadcasters John McBeth and Raylene Ramsay - the latter still a newsreader at Newstalk ZB. 

They joined Nick Mills to share the memories of the man Wellingtonians loved.
