Parkinson and son

A very poignant hour in the company of a legendary media figure. 88 years old, frail, and being interviewed by his own son. Who is also called Michael. 

A very long standing ovation, deserved if for no other reason because of the man's genuineness. Some very funny stories and some wonderful clips. Great session.

Also saw Simon Schama talking about plagues and pandemics - excellent.

A brilliant session by Professor Rose Anne Kenny on ageing.

Good panel discussion on the state of British politics with Rosie Boycott, John Crace, Jess Phillips and Daniel Finkenstein.

More time in the company of friends and a picnic in the castle grounds.

Photo  from TGR - she has just completed 300 miles of her 2,650 mile hike. Brilliant.

First class day.
