Tributes paid to Burns ‘the best’

FRIENDS, family and famous names from the world of motorsport gathered yesterday to pay tribute to world champion rally driver Richard Burns.

Mourners, including fellow drivers and television presenters, packed into St Luke’s Church in Chelsea, to hear the sportsman, who died last month, described as “the best.”

The 34-year-old died on November 25, four years to the day after being crowned England’s first and only World Rally Champion.
