The popular television personality Arne Weise passed away on Wednesday, 89 years old.

A decades-long career, but perhaps it is his year in front of the Christmas tree on December 24 that left deepest traces in the hearts of the Swedish people - at least if one is to believe the users on SVT Nyheter's Facebook page.

"Thank you for gilding our Christmas evenings."

"Rest in peace. Has grown up with Arne Weise as a Christmas host. The best."

"You will be missing especially during Christmas time," read some of the tribute comments.

"Your voice, your speech!"

Arne Weise's well-known voice is also praised.

"For me, you will always be the voice of different nature films I saw on TV when I was a kid."

"He was the best Christmas world, but my best memories of him are from One with Nature."

“Your voice, your speech. We will remember you forever! "
