Jump racing turns out to bid farewell to Campbell Gillies At least 300 people squeezed into the chapel at Mortenhall Crematorium and as many again stood outside to hear friends and colleagues recall memories and pay tribute to Gillies, 21, whose biggest victory came in March on board Brindisi Breeze at the Cheltenham Festival. Others included his boss, the trainer Lucinda Russell, her partner Peter Scudamore and fellow jockeys Zander Voy, Peter Buchanan and Ewan Whillans. He recalled how Gillies once went to England for five days and was so excited he forgot to take a change of clothes and how, despite having size six feet, he had a penchant for going out in size nine Cuban heels. Whillans said he had been beginning to feel emotional until he saw the photo of Gillies in the commemorative brochure and realised he was wearing his boots, which he had stolen. The congregation, who gathered at Musselburgh racecourse, where all the bars were opened, included the vast majority of professional jump jockeys, headed by AP McCoy. Paul Struthers, chief executive of the Jockeys Association said: "It was a really moving service, sad, but poignant and funny. It came across as a wonderful celebration of Campbell's life.
