Fox-Pitt rides out
As one of Britain?s leading medal hopes for the London Olympics, William Fox-Pitt was hoping that 2012 would be a year to remember for all the right reasons. Sadly, the equestrian is having to cope with the death of his beloved father.
Oliver Fox-Pitt died on Monday at the age of 79. ?The family are comforted by the fact that he could not have had a more rewarding life,? says a friend. After shining as an equestrian, Oliver co-founded the investment bank Fox-Pitt Kelton. He continued working until recently. When William?s wife, the Channel 4 Racing presenter Alice Plunkett, gave birth to their first child in 2005, they named him Oliver in his honour.
