Dozens of bikers gathered in the car park at Rushden's Asda store and followed the funeral cortege as it made its way to the church.

Darryl worked for Asda and staff stood outside the store to see his coffin driven past in a motorcycle sidecar just after 1pm today.

The funeral cortege stopped outside the store momentarily and those lining the streets on both sides applauded before it continued on its journey.

Pedestrians and cars stopped to let them pass and to watch the stream of motorbikes flow through afterwards.
