Sir Peter O'Sullevan led the tributes to racing pioneer Lord Oaksey, who died on Wednesday morning.
Oaksey will always be associated with his work for injured jockeys, which began when Tim Brookshaw and Paddy Farrell suffered serious injuries at Aintree in the 1963-64 jumps season. He founded the Injured Jockeys' Fund in 1964 and was chairman from 1982-2002, after which he was president.
"He was a splendid man, one of my great heroes and he found everything quite light and entertaining," said O'Sullevan, BBC's 'voice of racing' for 50 years.

Kingsgate Native has been ruled out of Saturday's Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.
The seven-year-old won the Nunthorpe as a juvenile for John Best in 2007 before following up in the race now known as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes the following year.
He returned to training with Sir Michael Stoute after an unsuccessful stint at stud, although he could not recapture his Group One-winning form over the last couple of years.
