TT star Geoff Duke to make 'last lap'

Wed, 06 May 2015


Motorcycling legend Geoff Duke will travel a final lap of the TT Mountain Course on Sunday.

A hearse bearing the 92-year-old's coffin will leave the grandstand at 2.30pm followed by his two sons on motorbikes.

The rest of his family will follow in cars - local fans are also being invited to join in with the "last lap" to pay their own respects. 

Duke's funeral will be private, and will take place next week, however a service of commemoration is being planned for the Festival of Motorcycling in August.
