The day we knew would come but hoped would be a while yet.

He'll be chasing crumpet up there no doubt.

Oh no. That is just too sad. Particularly right now. As you say Peter, it was going to happen sooner rather than later, but I feel pretty devastated. An absolute legend. THE legend, really.....

Never a fan of the man personally but a sad time, to get through it all and live life as he did was great.

He seemed to be indestructible, but sadly his day has come. I knew he had retired from public life a couple of years ago after health problems, but he had contributed more than enough anecdotes before then.

An all time great who deserved the title he never got and will always be remembered for his great drives, especially the 1955 Mille Miglia and 1961 Monaco GP. Even after his crash at Goodwood he kept well in touch with the sport and showed he was still good in historics.

We will miss you Stirling. RIP

He tried chatting my wife up at Spa one year. She said to me "that old bloke over there tried it on with me" I said "it's Stirling Moss" she said "but he's even older than you" RIP Sir Stirling

A sad day, the phrase legend is over used, but genuinely releveant for Sir Stirling Moss, one of the greatest nuts behind a wheel.

It was an enormous privilege to have met and photographed this wonderful man. A gentleman in every sense of the word. He and his lovely wife Susie always had time to speak to you and indeed it’s the end of an era.

Rest in Peace Sir Stirling 😢

I'm way to young to have seen him race but he really was the driver i warmed to when i started watching and reading about stuff from that era, would have loved to have met him. Sad day indeed.

My brother just texted me this news and we're saddened. This was one of my father's heroes in racing.

To have driven and survived in the time that he did...

I posted this on FB as a request from RLM's Joe Bradley who interviewed Stirling as he stepped out of a car for the last racing time at Le Mans in 2011. I was across the other side of the track....

What a conversation that must have been:

"Hello, is that the BBC insurance company? We want a national treasure actor, who is a self proclaimed rubbish driver, take the most famous racing driver in the world in one of the most famous cars in the world over difficult roads. Oh and then we want him to drive a priceless 50s F1 car that was a bit of an understeering pig and killed a pro driver. Hello? Hello?"

I don't think there was any need to knock it. I thought it was an excellent programme. You could really see the enthusiasm Patrick Stewart had for Moss

Ok fair enough. It was one of three from 2012, the other two being James Martin on JYS and Chris Hoy on Colin McRae

It was good but they could have got the correct type of car for the trip through the italian countryside, rather than going for the gull wing
