It is with deep regret that the Club has learned of the passing of Honorary Life President Harold Winton.

Winton passed away last night after a five year battle against cancer.

As a mark of respect, the Club will be holding a minute's silence prior to our Coca Cola Championship fixture against Ipswich Town at Loftus Road this evening.

Gianni Paladini, told www.qpr.co.uk: "We are all extremely saddened to hear of Harold's passing.

"He was a true QPR fan, who not only supported the Club through thick and thin, but also helped assist in helping secure the services of Doudou, Dan Shittu and Marc Bircham.

"He was a true gentleman and he will be missed by everyone at the Club."

The thoughts of the Club are with the Winton family and their friends at this difficult time.

May he rest in peace.
