I agree Sandy, horse racing has lost a great character. I remember one particular day at Hereford races. I went over to the 2 mile starting tape to watch the start of a race and Terry was told in no uncertain terms by the starter to, "get off the tape Biddlecombe"

I'd bet he said that more than once during his long career. National Hunt racing will miss him.
