News about Jackie Stewart

POLE POSITION: Sir Jackie Stewart, the last hero of the immortals of a bygone era, stated from the pulpit of Westminster Abbey that we would never look upon such a scene again. It was a privilege to be there in the Quire on Tuesday to celebrate the life of Sir Stirling Moss, the greatest all-round motor-racing driver the world has ever known, who was a byword for sportsmanship. There were some 2,000 congregants in the grandest of all English 'parish' churches, its high vaults echoing to the sound of ethereal music. Top-of-the-pops hymns, including I Vow to Thee My Country and Jerusalem resounded, as befitted a man who mostly chose the society of older, less-dominant British cars over reliable winners from the Continent.

More than 2,000 people gathered today to celebrate the racing career of Sir Stirling, with the likes of Prince Edward , Jackie Stewart and Christian Horner spotted among the crowd. His own iconic cars, including his Mille Miglia-winning Mercedes-Benz, were parked around London as a mark of respect to the motorsport legend.

You may believe you have the whole "breathing" thing taken care of. After all, it's one of those processes that's (thankfully) automatic and (thankfully) doesn't take up no space on your to-do list. However, breathwork — a way to get even more out of one of your body's most important functions — is a way to get even more out of one of your body's most essential processes. "Breathwork is intentionally engaging the breath in an activity or mental manner that changes our physical and mental stability in some way," Alo Moves mindfulness and meditation instructor Jackie Stewart says. Congratulations, if you've ever decompressed with a massive inhale followed by a sigh (exhale).

JONATHAN MCEVOY: Even though the humour rises every Christmas, it's the annual plumping of pillows at BBC Sport. That's because the national broadcaster's once-pioning coverage fades ever further into misty recollection. Mind you, it's getting bigger. Salford is this year's pageant, a far cry from those days of sports superstars who literally rubbed shoulders in the Television Centre. It's where Princess Anne and Jackie Stewart began their life together.
