Tributes from across Yorkshire paid to Barnsley's Michael Parkinson
He's passed away at the age of 88.
The Labour MP for Barnsley Central and former mayor of South Yorkshire has said Sir Michael Parkinson's "quick wit" made for "unmissable TV".
Dan Jarvis tweeted:
"Sad to hear that Sir Michael Parkinson has passed away - Barnsley born and bred and an icon of the small screen for 60 years.
"His show was the place to be for anyone who was anyone, his quick wit & rare ability to make A-lister's feel at ease made for unmissable TV."
Barnsley FC have tweeted to say they are 'deeply saddened' and the 'town has lost one of it's favourite sons'.
Yorkshire County Cricket Club has said it is "saddened" to learn of the death of Sir Michael Parkinson.
Sir Michael was a lifelong fan of cricket, with his childhood dreams of playing cricket for Yorkshire dashed when he left school aged 16 and instead began working at a local paper.
The club will hold minute's silence before play in York on Thursday "to show our respects" for Sir Michael Parkinson, the club said.
On Twitter, the club wrote:
"Everyone at Yorkshire Cricket is saddened to learn of the passing of Sir Michael Parkinson.
"The thoughts of everyone at the Club are with Sir Michael's family and friends."
