We're celebrating a year of the mighty Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio and last week we celebrated by hosting his show from a pub! If you missed it, then take a look at the highlights below.

Speaking about his special anniversary show, Ken said: "Well it turns out dreams really do come true – what a morning it’s been. I’ve loved seeing old friends and hanging out with all of my new ones from Greatest Hits Radio. It’s been a brilliant first year and now, with the show finished, I’m going to enjoy raising a glass to many more."

Ken was joined by several special guests during his anniversary show, including his former colleague Lynn Bowles, Chasers Shaun Wallace and Jenny Ryan many more.

'Perfect' band Fairground Attraction tweaked the lyrics from ‘It’s Got to Be’ to ‘Ken’s first anniversary’, then Basil Brush took a break from serving behind the bar to wish Ken well.

Also on the show was Vanessa Feltz and Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri arrived to ask Ken about his Golden Year. Ken chose 1969 with this songs of choice being from Thunderclap Newman, Amen Corner and Diana Ross & The Supremes.

Ken was also joined by many of this on-air colleagues at Greatest Hits Radio including Simon Mayo, Mark Goodier, Richard Allinson, Jenny Powell, Andy Crane, Des Paul, Lynn Parsons and Alex Lester.

The first anniversary show was brought to a close by Mike and Suggs from Madness, with their rendition of ‘It Must Be Love’ or as Suggs put it ‘It Must Be Ken – Nothing More, Nothing Less – Ken is the best!’
