What a funeral, he would have been laughing all the way.

The M21 and sidecar which was being used as a hearse broke down twice on the 6 mile run to the church, the second time it started pouring down and meant he had to be removed from the chair and put into a professional hearse for the remainder of the run.

Entered the church to the sound of Monty Pythons 'Always look on the bright side of life'. Hymns and prayers and a marvelous tribute by his life long friend Ian and another by Bruces father followed by the full length version of 'The laughing Policeman'. A soloist sang Amazing Grace with no musical accompaniment.

Bruce exited the church for the cemetery to Hawkwinds Silver Machine.

R.I.P. Bruce.

Indeed Mark, a lovely send off. I was glad I was able to get there, thanks to Jules.

Godbless Bruce.

Glad I was able to attend to say my Farewell.

Yes...I did chuckle.....how many people are late for their own funeral !
I'm sure Bruce found that most amusing.

May your God go with you.

Rather sadly I never met Bruce in the flesh; only electronically on this forum. However, I have been deeply moved by all these comments posted by members who knew him personally and feel I have missed an amusing opportunity in my life judging by the jokes.
May he rest in peace.

Here's a short video of Bruce's last ride.

Someone just told me it was not a BSA M21, but a Norton . . . . .maybe Bruce would have prefered his own Norton

Yes indeed it was a Norton Big 4, the same as Bruces. I had another bike in my mind whilst write the previous note. A BSA would have got there.
