The Prince and Princess of Wales have joined tributes to "hero" Doddie Weir. The former Scotland rugby international has died aged 52 after suffering from motor neurone disease (MND).
His family announced his death in a statement issued via the Scottish Rugby Union on Saturday. They called him an "inspirational force of nature".
Weir was diagnosed with MND in December 2016. Five years ago he founded the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation (MNDF), which has now committed almost £8 million to research projects across the UK.
