TT star Geoff Duke to make "last lap"

Wednesday, 6 May 2015 00:00

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.
