Legendary Formula 1 commentator Murray Walker has been diagnosed with cancer.

The 89-year-old said he had a form of lymphatic system cancer, which was diagnosed during tests after a fall in which he broke his pelvis last month.

"They've caught it incredibly early. It's treatable, the doctors say my condition is mild and I'm very hopeful," Walker said.

Walker is to have a programme of chemotherapy over the next few months in an attempt to cure the disease.

He has cancelled his plans to attend the British Grand Prix over the weekend of 28-30 June.


I think it's fair to say everyone hopes that he gets better soon and fights it off Smile

The very best of wishes to Murray 'the voice of Motor Racing' for so long.

Good news that they have caught it early but his age is going to make it a very tough battle. Sad
