Honour the Hero Tom Gaden
Well I think this morning Tom Gadens family will be very proud of him and I'm sure amazed at the support the motorcycling community showed them.
We turned up expecting to see about 50 or so bikes and it was clear very quickly that bikers had come from far and wide. I would guess 400 or so rode the one mile from the meeting point to park either side of the main street 10 minutes before the funeral passed through. Many GS riders and just a few I knew from as far away as Plymouth.
The service was relayed out of the church on loud speaker and at the end after the last post had sounded and soldiers from his unit fired a salute his coffin came from the church with the following music filling the streets.
A very moving moment to see the soldiers, heads down with the music playing.
Listen and heres some snaps.
