Corin Dann and the team at TVNZ 1’s weekly politics show Q+A have paid tribute to former presenter Greg Boyed.

Greg died suddenly in Switzerland last week.

He worked at TVNZ for over two decades, including a stint on Q+A.

Current host Dann ended last night’s show with some heartfelt words about his former colleague and friend.

“Someone I had the great pleasure to work with and get to know over the last seven or eight years, and play some music with as well.

“He’s a top man, we will miss him very much.”
