Funeral of Alec Stewart

Family following the coffin of Alec Stewart at Culross Abbey Church. Alec Stewart trained great Mtoto, ridden by Michael Roberts, to Ascot glory in 1988, and died at his Newmarket home on Wednesday aged 49 after a long-running battle with cancer. Stewart took out a training licence in 1983, following four years as assistant to Tom Jones. He went on to establish a highly-successful partnership with South African-born jockey Michael Roberts."It is very sad news indeed as he was a great man and what you would call a true friend," said Roberts, after a short service at Culross Abbey Church, Culross, Scotland.
