Former jockey Norman Williamson led the tributes to Edward O'Grady, who died on Sunday at the age of 75, hailing him "a remarkable trainer and a remarkable man".

Williamson rode a whole host of big-race winners for O'Grady, including his last Cheltenham Festival success in the saddle aboard Back In Front in the 2003 Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
