What they said: McCoy tributespublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 25 April 2015
Sir Alex Ferguson, racehorse owner and former Manchester United manager: "Only people who have had to live with great expectations can understand why they should go out at the top. That expectation is indescribable, losing was never an option for Tony. Only winning mattered."

He could do another year - Wrightpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 25 April 2015
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright had this to say to BBC Radio 5 live prior to presenting McCoy with his champion jockey trophy:
"He's unbelievable with all the injuries. He's broken almost every bone in his body - I still complain about my little ankle ache.
"It seems to me he still has the desire to race. I think he could do another year but I won't say anything - his missus will kill me."

Just under 20 minutes now until his penultimate race and McCoy walks out to a guard of honour from his fellow jockeys.
An emotional-looking McCoy gets a quick kiss from his wife as he waits to receive the Champion Jockey trophy for the 20th time. Arsenal legend Ian Wright will present the trophy, which McCoy will now be allowed to keep.
A quick chorus of "For he's a Jolly Good Fellow" rings out.
We should be hearing a few words from him shortly.

Dame Judi Dench has just been on Channel 4 paying tribute to AP McCoy.
"It's great to be able to meet him and say: 'you're a legend'," the Oscar-winning actress said.
Must be pretty surreal for Dame Judi Dench to be saying that to you...

Johnson a fitting winner on special daypublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 25 April 2015
Frank Keogh
BBC Sport at Sandown"Quite fitting that Richard Johnson should ride a big winner, with Menorah trained by Philip Hobbs, on the day of AP McCoy's farewell.
"Johnson has been runner-up 15 times in the jockeys' championship to McCoy but remains a friend as well as rival.
"Earlier he said: 'It's sad that he won't be sat next to me. He's a good friend as much as anything else. In a racing point of view, I'm quite glad he won't be there to do me on the line before the winning post comes.'"

Here's a nice moment from a little earlier today as McCoy leads Don't Push It round the ring parade.
The two of course famously combined to win the 2010 Grand National.

In the years that followed McCoy raised the bar to staggering heights and on 7 November 2013 was able to celebrate his 4,000th winner, reaching the milestone on Mountain Tunes at Towcester.

BBC Sport at SandownFather-of-two McCoy admits he has little idea what he will do after retirement, and reluctantly decided to stop riding competitively.
"I love riding, I love my job and like every sportsman I just wished it was never going to happen," he told the BBC.
"I've always lived in the fear of carrying on too long, or maybe not being as successful as I was, or maybe not as good as I was.
"I always had it in my head that I wanted to get out while I was champion jockey. I know it's the right decision. I never wanted it to happen that people were thinking I was not as good as I was."
