Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy meets members of the Royal Family, including the late Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Harry.
Sir Chris Hoy has released an emotional message to fans in which he has revealed he will be living with stage four cancer for 'the rest of his life'.
Speaking to camera on a video posted on his social media channels, the Olympian said: 'Hi everyone, I wanted to give you an update about my health, after telling you I was receiving treatment for cancer. In addition to his six Olympic golds, Hoy also won two Commonwealth golds and 11 golds at Track Cycling World Championships
He said: 'I've made the decision to write it all in a book. You might wonder why I take on writing a book during such a challenging time. It's been cathartic and it's a very important part of how I've been able to process this news with my family and for myself over the past few months.'I hope it can provide not only an insight into how a family deals with a diagnosis like mine, but also remind us that all we have is now.
Sir Chris's legacy and impact on British sport cannot be understated, having spearheaded Team GB's velodrome dominance between 2008 and 2016. Sir Chris was part of the BBC's coverage of the World Track Cycling Championship the morning after the news broke, and appeared in good spirits as he co-hosted with presenter Jill Douglas on BBC Two and also gave a further update on his health.
