Tributes have flowed following the passing of cricket legend Tony Greig.

Tributes have flowed following the passing of cricketing legend Tony Greig.

IT was the last Christmas Day cricketing legend Tony Greig would share with his family.

This precious image captured Greig surrounded by his loved ones, including wife Vivian, daughters Samantha and Beau and sons Mark and Tom as they celebrated Christmas together.

The day the photo was taken Greig posted a holiday message on Twitter: "Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you all. Would love to be at Test but son Tom and I will be tuned in."

Channel 9 yesterday tweeted the family photo, saying: "Our thoughts are with Tony's family."

Messages of support continued to flow from the public yesterday as news spread of the 66-year-old's death.

"The Great Commentator Tony Greig No More ... We all will miss his Awesome style," Shantanu Newse wrote on Facebook.

Greig passed away with his family by his side at 1.45pm on Saturday at St Vincent's Hospital.

He had advanced lung cancer and died following a cardiac arrest.

On Saturday night a moment's silence was held at an Australian domestic Twenty20 match, while yesterday flags flew at half-mast at the Sydney Cricket Ground in his honour. The SCG Trust is encouraging spectators to wear wide-brimmed hats - which Greig was well known for - as a tribute to the cricketing legend for the New Year's Test.

Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said yesterday the respected commentator would likely be honoured during the Sydney Test.
