If 90 people turned up at my funeral I would get out the casket and join in!
Sir Michael Parkinson was laid to rest with a private funeral of 90 close friends and family who then gave him a farewell toast at his local pub.
The legendary broadcaster, a coal miner’s son from Barnsley, died at the age of 88 last month due to ‘frailty of old age’.
The veteran TV presenter and Barnsley FC fan was known for his intimate interviews with the world’s biggest celebrities, including Muhammad Ali, John Lennon and Dame Helen Mirren, on his famous BBC chat show Parkinson.
