I enjoyed watching him standing up to the quicks.
One of the best against fast bowling combing reactions, courage and timing.

It's where swashbucking and batting intersect.

So sad to see his depart so young.

Martin Parr - Photographer and photojournalist - 23rd May 1952 to 6th December 2025

He changed the way we considered photography - famous for his colourful, brash and natural images of working class Brits in everyday life and at play.
I only saw him in the summer (2025) out with his camera and tripod at the Bristol harbour festival, taking photos of the steaming Jerk Chicken stall on the dockside, with a queue of hungry revelers, dancing to a steel band, awaiting the stalls opening.

A good life and a thoroughly nice bloke.

A really funny guy.
Deserves to be ranked alongside Morecambe and Wise or the Two Ronnies.

Is there any better tribute than "Brought happiness to missions".
