Sir Stirling Moss returns home after nearly five months in hospital

Sir Stirling Moss has finally returned home after 134 days in hospital to continue his recovery from a chest infection.

The 87-year-old fell ill while on holiday before Christmas and was admitted to a hospital in Singapore on December 22.

He was subsequently flown back to the UK and has since remained in a London hospital.

A statement on his website confirmed that Moss is "back where he belongs".

"He still has a substantial amount of recovery to undertake but says that he has determination and a great pit crew," it reads.

"He and Lady Moss are enormously grateful to the medical staff, both here and abroad, who worked so tirelessly to make all this possible.

"They also want to thank, from the bottom of their hearts, all the family, friends and fans for their love and support.

"It has been overwhelming and given them a lot of strength, smiles and hope.

"For now, they are looking forward to just lying back on their pillows in their bedroom and watching the Spanish Grand Prix."
