LEGENDARY chat show host and journalist Sir Michael Parkinson died last week, aged 88.
The news was confirmed by his family on August 16, who shared that Sir Michael "passed away peacefully at home last night in the company of his family".
Sir Michael was a regular on television for years with his popular talk show and in October 2010 he visited Gwent as part of a tour promoting his book Parky's People.
Here we share some pictures of his visit to Chepstow Bookshop during that tour.
