+{{Dab_page|Parkinson (disambiguation)}}
+'''Parkinson''' was a [[blind]] [[vicar]] who lived in [[Shoreditch]] in [[1963]].
+Before he became a [[reverend]], he had gone to Oxford and enlisted to fight in [[World War I]]. At the rank of [[captain]], he was blinded by a [[German]] [[mustard gas]] attack in [[Verdun]], [[France]]. He felt he had been 'called to God' and felt His presence while being treated at a dressing station. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
+In 1963, he prepared a grave for the [[Hand of Omega]] at the request of the [[First Doctor]], and later presided over the burial of the coffin containing the Hand at the request of the [[Seventh Doctor]]. He stated to the Doctor that he had noticed the Doctor's voice had changed since they last met, to which the Doctor replied, "Yes it has [[regeneration|changed]], several times". ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
