The stars came out to Auckland's Viaduct on Friday night to celebrate Peter Williams' 30-year career at TVNZ.

Friends and colleagues who toasted the milestone included fellow One News presenters Wendy Petrie and Simon Dallow.

Williams' fellow veteran sports broadcaster Brendan Telfer also stopped by. He appeared to be recovering well after suffering a brain aneurism earlier this year.

Williams started working at the state broadcaster in 1979 as a sports anchor and has since covered seven Olympic games.
