John Brierley

Sadly, my grandfather John Brierley passed away aged 97 today. I thought I'd post something here because he took a number of the historic motor racing photographs which have been used by Goodwood, including the reproduced photograph that was issued with the book 'Goodwood Revival - The First 10 years' and one of the photographs that hangs in the driver's pavillion. In return, Goodwood kindly provided him with revival tickets and club membership which he enjoyed up until last year.

There is an article here from Mike Lawrence on Pit Pass which gives some idea of what an incredible eventful and amazing life he had. http://www.pitpass.com/10439-Brierley

Just read the article as you say a rich and fascinating life and a different era

Thank you for posting that Stu - Dad would have enjoyed reading Mike's Pitpass article again - I somehow think it was fitting that he died on Revival weekend - the first one he has missed.
