Huge crowds for Dan Kneen service

Fond send-off for popular racer

Hundreds of people have lined the roads from Onchan to Douglas Borough Crematorium for the service of celebration for the life of Manx road racer Dan Kneen.

The 30-year-old died in an incident at Churchtown during a TT practice session on Wednesday, 30 May.

Brother Ryan rode his motorcycle alongside TT travelling marshals, with other members of the "Orange Army" waving flags as the hearse entered the Crematorium grounds.

Dan entered the chapel to "Paradise City" by Guns N'Roses, and "Bicycle Race" by Queen was played at the end of the service following the blessing.
