Bruce Forsyth, the British television presenter who was the face of primetime family game shows for decades, died on Friday at the age of 89, his manager announced. Tributes poured in for the veteran entertainer, whose catchphrases - "Didn't he do well?" and "Nice to see you, to see you.. nice!" - were adopted into the national discourse. "From the moment we met, Bruce and I did nothing but laugh our way through a decade of working together," said Tess Daly, his co-presenter on hit BBC ballroom dancing show "Strictly Come Dancing" from 2004 to 2013.

"I will never forget his generosity, his brilliant sense of humour and his drive to entertain the audiences he so loved."
