Campbell Gillies

Only just read this on the news - absolutely devastating for all friends and relatives. I watched him ride some fantastic races and often had a bet on a horse just because he was riding it - no other reason. A tragic waste of a young life. RIP.
 
I can't even begin to imagine how devastated his friends and family must be, on this, his 22nd birthday.

My deepest sympathy to those that knew and loved him.
 
There's just been a moving tribute to Campbell on the Morning Line, with film of his win on Brindisi Breeze and the ensuing euphoria. It was a reminder, if that was needed, of his contagious charm and energy. How tragic that the heady heights of success should be followed so quickly by such despair.

Alec.

Ets, For those who have missed it, the tribute was at the end of the programme, and could be viewed again at about 0950 on Ch.13.

I thought it was a lovely tribute, but as you say very moving. When they showed the years of his birth and death at the end it really brought it home what a short life he had.:(
 
They have just shown another tribute on channel 4, to the song 'skinny lover', so so sad. Such a talented, handsome young man, a life so tragically cut short. Condolences to all his friends and family, EKW and all those at Arlary. Rest in peace Campbell.x
 
El that was a really nice tribute to Campbell. I really feel for you all at Arlary, you have had such a hard time there the past few months. Feel so sorry for Campbells family. So nice that there have been such nice tributes to him. I hope it eventually gives some comfort to his family. R.I.P. Campbell x
 
So very sad and such a waste. I worked in Corfu (not Kavos) for a season and unfortunately accidents involving young lads on a group holiday are not uncommon although that doesn't stop it being awdul and such a waste of a young life. I really feel for his family and friends - especially those that were with him as I understand it was only their first day on holiday too. Just awful :(
