60 balloons were released this week at the Southern 100 start line to celebrate the life of a well-liked racer.
Ian Bell died competing at TT 2016, but this week friends, family and fans gathered to mark what would have been his 60th birthday.
Southern 100 club Press Officer Phil Edge says it was a very emotional but happy day celebrating Ian's racing successes and birthday.
Mr Edge says Ian will always be remembered in the racing community:
