RIP Alastair Down

Legend

Not often you saw Lester looking enthralled by what was going on around him, but Alastair could that with anyone when he spoke.

Brilliant. RIP Alastair. Almost raised a chuckle from the Long Fellow too.

He was absolutely superb ! his banter with Johnny Francome and Big Mac was legendary sincerest condolences to his family and friends ❤️🙏

RIP..I was just starting to take a proper interest in racing at this time...loved his reviews of the papers

A sad day. The man was a legend.

One of the best back in the day

Very sad news. Alastair was wonderful at bringing the humour and business of racing to the public. RIP.

Absolutely gutted 😞

So young here 😥
