I spoke to Alis family and best mate and they have requested due to Alis love of bikes that as many bikers as possible attend the whole of Ali’s funeral to be held tomorrow, Wednesday the 5th of April 2006.
The proceeding will start with prayers at 12:30pm at Regents park mosque at 146 Park Road(there is a seperate area for non-muslims to pay their respects) and the family would like us to be part of the procession from Regents park mosque (at 1:30pm) to the burial at the Garden of Peace, Elmbridge Road, Hainault, Ilford, Essex, IG6 3SW (2:15pm).
The family said our presence will be much appreciated and ensure all bikers turn up with their bikes even if only for part of the procession.
I would like to have an idea of numbers so if you can make it for even part of the journey or just at the burial please let us know as it would be much appreciated.
I’ll fill you in on further details as I get them but please spread the word for now and pull some strings so you can come tomorrow.
I’ll be there, Sam. Thanks for liaising with the family, and together with our sincere condolences, please express our thanks for being allowed to take part in Ali’s last journey.
I live on the other side of Regents Park to the Mosque so if anyone wants to meet me or anyone that needs some help with directions then PM me for my mobile number.
I’ve busted a ball and managed to get the day off, so I’ll be there to pay my respects Sam. Thank-you. I presume the mosque would be the best place to meet.
Guys I have just spoken to Alis best friend and we have agreed that we, bikers can follow the car with Ali’s body from the Mosque up to the place of his burriel.
I urge all of you that can make with such a short notice to meet me at the Regents park mosque (146 Park Road) by 1:00pm
We won’t be getting in the mosque but we will have our last ride with Ali from there up to the place he will have his final rest!
