Veteran reporter Vernon Scott died at home on Saturday, aged 77.

Vernon was the Western Telegraph's Pembroke Dock reporter for many years and continued to write a column for the paper after his retirement.

He also contributed to other Pembrokeshire publications and published several books on local history including one on a wartime tank fire in Pembroke Dock and another on the effects of the war on Pembrokeshire.

Vernon was an acclaimed public speaker and a well known raconteur as well as an established amateur actor, known for his lifelike renditions of Winston Churchill and Field Marshall Montgomery.
