Previously unseen photographs and personal artefacts from the late Sir Henry Cecil’s home at Warren Place in Newmarket will be part of an exhibition at Ascot on British Champions day on October 19.

Included will be the family standard Cecil used to fly above his house after a Group One victory.

The specially-selected collection of photos depict the life of Cecil from early childhood to the end of his glittering career.
