Funeral of Laxey rider to take place today

Fri, 13 May 2016

The funeral of local motorbike racer Billy Redmayne will take place this afternoon.

The 25-year-old will be taken on a final lap of the TT Course before receiving a military funeral at Douglas Borough Cemetery.

Bikes and cars, which will follow the soldier, will leave The Grandstand at 12pm - with well-wishers being encouraged to stand at their favourite point around the TT Course.

The Laxey man, who was due to make his debut at this year's TT, died following a crash at Oliver's Mount in Scarborough in April.
