To mark the 25th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, the official social media accounts for the three-time Formula One world champion have created a poignant video narrated by his mother sharing her memories of her son.

Featuring video clips and images from his childhood through to his race career, Neyde Senna da Silva remembers her "restless, polite, sweet" son who "used to bring me flowers without anyone having to remind him".

The video is accompanied by the hashtag #MeuAyrton to encourage supporters of the great Brazilian driver to share their memories of his life and career.
