...including £25,000 for a party

Nicholas Parsons left more than £1million in his will – including  £25,000 for friends to have a party in his honour.

The Just A Minute host, who died at the age of 96 last January, told them: ‘It should celebrate happy memories, not be a sad farewell.’

Newly released probate records, reported in The Sun, show his  left £1million to second wife Annie, 81, and his two children.

His collection of memorabilia went to his daughter-in-law Louise, and he donated £5,000 to the entertainment charity The Grand Order of the Water Rats.
