On Twitter for several minutes, a sad black square appears on the account of Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut.

Her husband, Jean-Pierre Pernaut, died on Wednesday at the age of 71, from lung cancer.

In addition to his wife, tributes abound on social networks since the announcement of his disappearance.

The world of television and information is in mourning after the loss of this former star presenter of the JT of TF1, but also the political world, like Jean Castex.

“Not a hamlet in our country was unknown to him, writes the Prime Minister on the social network.

Not one tradition of our lands was foreign to him.

Territorial France is losing that familiar voice and that reassuring face that spoke so well of her and knew how to speak to her so well.

We already miss Jean-Pierre Pernaut.

Roselyne Bachelot, Minister of Culture, also paid tribute to the presenter: “Master of the 1 p.m. news on TF1 for more than 30 years, Jean-Pierre Pernaut has notably contributed to highlighting our territories and the beauty of France. .

We are losing a great journalist.

I send my heartfelt thoughts to his family and colleagues.

“Thank you for your kindness and kindness”

Among the presenter's former colleagues, Thomas Sotto quickly posted a message on Twitter.

“Television would not be quite the same without strong and outstanding personalities like Jean-Pierre Pernaut.

JPP is one of those who invented something,” he believes.

Michel Denisot meanwhile expressed his "sadness", remembering this "colleague at the 1 p.m. newspaper Yves Mourousi era" who "succeeded in a singular and long journey by being himself".

Alexia Laroche-Joubert, producer of Miss France in particular, praised the professionalism of Jean-Pierre Pernaut: “We had the chance to spend this evening together in December.

You were weakened but you kept telling me how happy you were to be the honorary president.

Colleagues from TF1 also paid tribute to the presenter.

Starting with Jean-Pierre Foucault, who also underlined his courage.

“He wanted to chair Miss France in December.

Despite the fatigue he hid… He didn't talk about it… My friend JPP did for years the news that the French loved.

And that the intelligentsia ridiculed… Deep France is a widow.

And we are all very sad,” he wrote.

“Thank you for your kindness and kindness.

You will be missed by all the French.

All my thoughts to Nathalie and all her family who love her so much, ”posted Camille Combal.

“A great gentleman, an accomplice of more than 20 years, a great presenter who created his newspaper, took it on and made it a tremendous success for more than 30 years.

A big brother in this profession, so benevolent.

I'll miss you ",
