Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

RIP Sir Michael Parkinson

 

Sad news today of the loss of another iconic figure from our youth, Sir Michael Parkinson, who has died at the age of 88. "Parky" was a fixture in our home and one of my mom's favorites. Most of my American friends know him from his brief but very funny cameo alongside Bill Nighy in "Love Actually. He'll be missed. RIP Sir Michael. Please feel free to post your favorite memories of the Parkinson show.

I remember vividly how much fun Muhammed Ali's appearances were, and how outrageous it was when Rod Hull and Emu showed up and Rod Hull basically attacked Parky and just wouldn't quit.
