Happy Birthday Sir Peter

[Venusian]

Many happy returns to Sir Peter O'Sullevan, 90 years young today.

A great commentator and journalist, a true gentleman, and an example to us all in so many ways.

Totally agree, Venusian. Happy 90th Birthday Sir Peter! :clap:

Were you at school with him, Venusian?

I don't think Charterhouse had started up when I was at school, AC.

A very happy birthday to an icon for the sport. A true gentleman indeed.

Hard to believe he was in his forties when he was a commentator on the Arkle V Mill House days and early 50s with the likes of Nijinsky, Mill Reef, Brigadier Gerard , Alleged etc... golden years for racing.

Hope he has a good one.

I've had the great if slightly terrifying pleasure of working with Sir Peter fairly recently
He may be ninety physically, but his mind is still as sharp as a pin
- and you'd better on the ball...... sloppiness is not tolerated

Happy birthday indeed to 'an Institution'
