Sad news (confirmed on the foundation's site). It's hard to express how well Parr captured a particular (and often silly), aspect of British culture.
We have a postcard of this framed in our seaside themed garden shed.
So sad! His work can't leave you indifferent, and he was very interesting to hear as well. I briefly saw him in person last year at Paris photo as I was waiting for @Guillaume Zuili , but didn't dare approach him. RIP, Mr Parr.
