Lester Piggott, widely considered to be the greatest jockey of all time, died in the early hours of Sunday morning. He was 86.

A legendary figure, Piggott won the Derby nine times, having ridden his first winner at the age of just 12, in 1948. He retired with 4,493 victories to his name.

Piggott had recently been hospitalised in Switzerland, where he has lived in recent years.

More to follow.
