Final journey for biking aficionados
A reverend has taken up driving coffins to funerals by motorcycle, as the perfect send-off for old bikers.
Paul Sinclair launched the service to brighten up what can often be a sad day for relatives, encapsulating perfectly the lives of late rockers and stirring up many happy memories, the Daily Record reports.
He described the service he provides as the equivalent of a burial at sea or a 21-gun salute for those old bikers who will no longer don their leathers and helmet, and who have taken out their last bike insurance policy.

He explained: "A funeral is not about how someone died, it's about how they lived.
"Biking is not so much a hobby for some people, it's their life. It helps the relatives to feel they've given the person a good send-off."
The bike, which is classed as a hearse, is equipped with a sidecar specifically designed to carry coffins.
He has now patented the design, and is hoping to bring his unique service to the US as well in the near future.
