The British driver, considered the greatest racer never to win the world title, died aged 90 in 2020, but a memorial was postponed because of the pandemic.
Classic racing cars and champion drivers, as well as royalty and celebrities have gathered in Westminster to celebrate the life of motor racing legend, Sir Stirling Moss. Close to 2,000 people - including Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and former Formula One world champions Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill - attended the service in his memory. Moss died aged 90, in April 2020, following a long illness, but any memorial for him had to be postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The display included the iconic Mille Miglia-winning Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR '722', brought over by Mercedes-Benz Heritage, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz W 196. Prince Michael of Kent, current Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton's father Anthony, former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn and actor Rowan Atkinson also attended the service. Moss never won an F1 world championship, yet his remarkable talent at the wheel set him apart from his peers.
