William Haggas paid a heartfelt tribute to his father-in-law Lester Piggott at a service to celebrate the life of the legendary jockey on Thursday.
Piggott died aged 86 in Switzerland on May 29 and with a private family funeral held the following month, the service at St Luke's Church in Chelsea gave figures from both the racing and wider world a chance to remember the titan of the saddle.
