Service of thanksgiving for Stirling Moss to be held at Westminster Abbey
Stirling Moss, considered one of the best Formula 1 drivers never to have won a championship, passed away in April 2020 at the age of 90. Due to pandemic lockdown measures, his family was unable to hold a memorial service at the time. Now, a gathering of over 2,000 people is expected to commemorate Moss’s life at Westminster Abbey. The service will feature speakers like Jackie Stewart and a display of some of Moss’s famous cars, including the iconic Mille Miglia-winning Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the number ‘722’. His family has made 722 tickets available for the motorsport community to attend the ceremony as a tribute. Moss’s F1 career, with 16 Grand Prix wins, saw him finish as runner-up four times and third place three times, before a 1962 accident at Goodwood led to his retirement.
