Bikers wanted to follow a funeral procession in Taunton 16/3/09

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7932118.stm

The mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan has made an appeal for people to take part in a motorcycle cavalcade at his funeral in Somerset.

Cpl Tom Gaden's body was brought back to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire on 3 March.

The 24-year-old 1 Rifle soldier will have a military funeral on 16 March and the plan is for motorbikes to follow the procession.

Judy Gaden, from Taunton, said her son was a biking enthusiast and would have loved a farewell of bikes.

Gordon Kemp, ex-traffic policeman who taught Cpl Gaden how to ride, has joined in a public appeal to other enthusiasts.

"The more we can do, the more we can honour Tom.

"I am calling on employers to allow motorcyclists just to nip out for an hour," he said.

On behalf of all the serving members of HMGs Armed forces, I'll say thank you for that.  We all feel the loss when another comrade in arms dies, it's a very sad occasion which we've seen and felt all to much lately.
