Doddie Weir's son says his father's positive outlook on life will always remain with him after his special appearance on the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.
Former Scotland lock Weir was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a rare condition that attacks the nervous system, in June 2017 and tragically passed away last month.
During his lengthy battle with the illness, Weir raised millions for MND research and proved to be an inspirational figure.
His son, Hamish Weir, attended this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year event as a special guest to present an award to former rugby league star Kevin Sinfield who has now raised more than £2.5m for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
And when interviewed after the star-studded show, Hamish Weir delivered a truly touching verdict of his father's legacy.
"I don't think we can feel sorry for ourselves," he said on the BBC. "The tributes that are coming in for my dad, everyone when you mention his name, they all have a smile on his face. I think he'd be annoyed if we were sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves.
"Life goes on. Rob [Burrow], Ed [Slater], they lead the charge from now. Kev [Sinfield] I'm sure will be back as well. You have to get on with life, keep a smile on your face as he always said, be positive, have a bit of laughter and I'm sure that's what we'll do in his memory."
Ex-rugby league ace Rob Burrow - who was diagnosed with the incurable condition in 2019 - won the Helen Rollason Award for his efforts in raising awareness of motor neurone disease.
