John Virgo memorial service

The service was attended by many of the game's greats, including Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis, and Jimmy White, who remembered Virgo as a giant of the sport.

Virgo died in February at the age of 79, only weeks after calling the Masters final in his signature style.

His widow, Rosie Ries, was also present as the snooker community shared emotional tributes to his composed demeanor and lasting impact on the game.

The memorial served as a poignant reminder of Virgo's long-standing connection to Sheffield and the tournament he helped make famous.
