Here’s a special tribute by Emma:

“Happy retirement to my best mate Lilly. You have been an absolute pleasure to train and my all-time favourite. Willow (Ladies In Red) is going to miss you as much as me. Thank you Benstud for giving me the pleasure of looking after her for all these years. You don’t know how much it has meant to me. Enjoy the sunshine and green grass Lilly. I can’t wait to see you again.” ❤️
