Anthony "messy" Roberts final ride

Post by billinom8s »

This has been forwarded on to me.


Posted on behalf of Jim Dearing - Mid Devon Bikers Facebook group.
"URGENT!

I have been approached by Anthony's Mother. Anthony is the 23 year old who was a member of Mid Devon Bikers Facebook group who sadly passed away due to a Tragic Motorcycle accident, She wants arrange an Escort from Tiverton to Exeter crematorium for his funeral and his last ever ride.

The date is still to be confirmed but I would like as many of us to attend as possible and I will let people know the date as soon as I know.
Please share this around other local groups please
Thank you"

UPDATE....

Anthony "messy" Roberts final ride
14th August 2015:
Mid Devon Bikers escort to Exeter crematorium.


Funeral bike and all attendees will now be traveling along the Devon valley road to Exeter via Bickleigh as one group.

Ceremony is at 2:45 at Exeter crematorium and the journey from Tiverton for the funeral bike plus family transport is expected to take 45 minutes so a nice steady ride for everyone. Aim to be in Tiverton no later than 1:30pm please.

Exact details and meeting place etc to be added ASAP.

Feel free to attach a ribbon to your bike, however.. if you have a flat peak/snap back cap or a pair of trainers you can attach to your bike that would be perfect! "

I understand that there may be some of you on here that knew this young man and are aware of the funeral arrangements - is there anyone else who would be kind enough to give a couple of hours of their time on Friday


More details to follow.

Anyone else coming along?

I know the weather has been a little unpredictable of late but please, if any of you can spare a couple of hours that would be really appreciated.

Cheers all xx

Well done Peter (and anyone else able to attend). Sadly, work got in the way this afternoon ..... :cry:
