Yes, it really was a privilege.
Pierre Ugeux, her late husband had been the president of Formula One (in the 70s I think) and so for a few years she was whizzed around Europe's racetracks living the high life. She remembered Monaco - with the Rainiers - as being something out of a dream. Her house was full of F1 memorabilia - signed steering wheels from the 'greats', crash helmets, photos, all sorts. Plus she was a real charmer.. She told me her one luxury was 2 glasses of rosé every evening.
A very special lady indeed.
If any PPRuNers find themselves in the vicinity of Uzès cathedral next Tuesday afternoon (2.30pm) and would wish to attend the funeral, you'd be most welcome.
