Pat Eddery funeral on Tuesday
Monday 7 December 2015 13:48, UK
The funeral service of Pat Eddery will take place at St Mary the Virgin Church, Thame, at 11am on Tuesday before a private cremation in Oxford.
Eddery, who was crowned champion jockey on 11 occasions, died on November 10 at the age of 63.
Organisers have confirmed members of the general public are welcome to stand outside the church while the service is taking place but will not be allowed inside due to restricted numbers.
Only two reporters and photographers will be allowed inside the building during the service, although there is no restriction on those outside.
Eddery amassed more than 4,600 winners in a 35-year career, a total bettered only by Sir Gordon Richards in Britain.
