Brokaw anchors his last 'Nightly News'

Tom Brokaw on Dec 1

Tom Brokaw anchored the NBC Nightly News for the final time on Wednesday night.

The anchor was visibly close to tears on the network's Today show on Wednesday morning, where he said that anchoring the programme had been a "great, great.. privilege" as he clinked champagne flutes with colleagues.

Brian Williams is Brokaw's successor.
