Former Formula 1 world champions Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell and Jackie Stewart were among those from motorsport who joined a service of thanksgiving to remember the life of Stirling Moss in London on Wednesday.
Around 2000 guests, ranging from drivers from all categories to family and friends - including F1 team boss Christian Horner, comedian Rowan Atkinson plus a host of fans who had been lucky to secure tickets - joined the ceremony at Westminster Abbey to pay tribute to Moss who died in April 2020. His Majesty the King was represented by his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, with Prince Michael of Kent also in attendance.

Moss’s son Stirling Elliot Moss also read an extract from a personal letter he had from his father. “Be reminded that everything worth achieving comes at a cost,” the letter said. “If you are lucky, you might never get the bill.
