"Katie Couric has presented her final edition of the CBS Evening News. The broadcaster, who became the first solo female anchor of a network evening newscast in 2006, signed off her last show by thanking viewers for tuning in over the past five years. &amp;quot;To all of you watching, thank you so much for coming along with me on this incredible journey,&amp;quot; she said during the programme. Couric&amp;#039;s final broadcast featured an interview with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as a montage of some of her most memorable moments, including trips to Africa and the Middle East and her coverage of major events such as the death of Osama Bin Laden and the royal wedding. She also joked that she was tempted to close the programme by quoting Will Ferrell&amp;#039;s Ron Burgundy character from Anchorman and declaring: &amp;quot;Stay classy, San Diego.&amp;quot; However, she added: &amp;quot;My sign-off won&amp;#039;t be in the history books like Walter [Cronkite&amp;#039;s, &amp;quot;And that&amp;#039;s the way it is&amp;quot;], but I&amp;#039;m grateful my &amp;#039;sign-on&amp;#039; may be. &amp;quot;I have taken the privilege of being the first solo woman anchor seriously, with some serious help from the entire team here at CBS News.&amp;quot; She concluded: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Katie Couric. Thanks for watching. Good night.&amp;quot; Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Scott Pelley has been chosen as Couric&amp;#039;s replacement on the broadcast. Pelley will begin his run on June 6. Watch Katie Couric closing her final CBS Evening News broadcast below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
