I was going to make my own post but I may as well use yours.
Just wanted to say a huge thank to everyone who came along, was wonderful to have you all there, all of David’s friend’s and family thought it was lovely that you all came, made a very tough day that little bit more bearable. His mum really enjoyed seeing you all off at the end and the vicar asked me if he could have a copy of the group pic he was in with all the bikers.
Thank you again everyone, I am am sure David was looking down with a massive smile on his face, you done us bikers proud. Stay safe everyone, see you all soon.x
My thanks also go to Dawn and the Families for making us all feel so welcome, it was a lovely service, heartfelt tributes along with some funny memories spoken.
The turnout from LB capped the whole day off, it was nice to see all the family smiling and waving as you rode off.
Really glad i was there today, as you said dawn it made this sad day a little easier to bear for his family and that alone makes it more than worthwhile .
Also really felt for his mum , undoubtedly she was in pieces inside but seemed to gain some strength from being able to chat with some of the lbers there .
I think It would be nice if there could be some sort of permanent tribute / memorial to dave on the site then friends and family would know he is always remembered by those who rode with him .
His mum Shelia was actually really keen to meet you all once the service had finished, she thought you were all lovely, I had to make sure she was talking about the same bunch of people
I will never forget this day!!! It was worth every mile!! I’m sure Dave is proud of all of us, the same way i am proud to be part of this group and happy to be amongst you people!!!
must admit to having a few tears in the eyes, on the ride down and at the service made me very proud to be part of something so special, some very moving tributes were paid to dave and his family must be so proud of him, godspeed mate
