Political editor dies, aged 62

Geoffrey Parkhouse, political editor of the Glasgow Herald since 1975, died yesterday aged 62. One of the most popular and hard-working of political reporters at Westminster, Mr Parkhouse, an Oxford graduate, entered journalism in 1959 and worked at the old Daily Herald, the Daily Mail, and the Sunday Express before moving to the Herald. He is survived by his first wife Pauline and their two sons, and by his second wife Julia Langdon and their daughter and son.
