A veteran BBC local radio DJ has lost his job after playing a song on his golden oldies show containing a racist word.
BBC Radio Devon DJ David Lowe, 68, said he was unaware that a 1932 version of 'The Sun Has Got His Hat On' included the n-word.
Lowe, a broadcaster for 32 years, said it was an "innocent mistake".
He said BBC bosses declined his idea of an on-air apology, and his offer to "fall on my sword" was accepted.
The BBC said it accepted that the situation could have been handled better, and offered freelance Lowe his job back. But the DJ said that the incident had exacerbated a stress- related condition and he would not be returning to the BBC.
