Murray Walker: scatter my ashes at Guthries

Veteran motorsport commentator Murray Walker says he wants his ashes to be scattered on the TT course.

The voice of motorsport on TV for many years was talking in an article for the Daily Mail.

Mr Walker's father was a works rider for Norton at the TT, and the commentator has been a lifelong fan of the event.

In a feature piece for a Daily Mail supplement, he says when the time comes he wants a simple humanist service - before his ashes are scattered at Guthrie's Memorial on the Mountain.

He tells the paper that Jimmy Guthrie was a famous rider and a family friend.
