Hundreds of bikers turn out for funeral of Michael Mahon
“I WILL be a story in your head, but that’s ok. We are all stories in the end, just make yours a good one, eh?”
Respects were paid to inspirational 28-year-old Michael ‘Mikkie’ Mahon in trademark style yesterday as hundreds of friends and family brought Swindon to a standstill.
Mikkie died tragically in a motorcycle accident while riding in the Forest of Dean last month, and hundreds of bikers joined a huge hearse streaming through the streets of Swindon during the afternoon.
Travelling from the Blade Trade Centre, where Mikkie worked as a salesman, the group of more than 300 weaved past the family home in Croft Road before joining a huge crowd at Kingsdown Crematorium.
As the hearse arrived, the group were encouraged to ‘let rip’, and the air filled with a blistering rev of engines to give Mikkie a great send-off.
