A motorbike mad grandfather is set for the perfect send off following his sudden death days before Christmas.

Brian Jenner, from Tonbridge, sadly died in his sleep on December 11 when he suffered a stroke but his daughter is keen for fellow bikers to lead his hearse to the crematorium.

The 66-year-old's daughter Hannah launched an appeal to find other motorists and has since received countless messages from people willing to travel to the funeral on Friday.

Mr Jenner, who had worked as a lorry driver, was dealt a devastating blow when he was told he could no longer ride his Yamaha Fazer after a diagnosis of dementia.

However, he is set for a fitting tribute when his friends, family and members of the biking community gather at TW Boormans from 2.30pm.

The groups will then leave for Tunbridge Wells Crematorium at 3.15pm.

Hannah said: "We have been inundated with messages from people we don't know. My Facebook post has been shared 1,500 times and I think there is going to be a huge turnout.

"I thought if we got half a dozen bikes there then that would be good.

"The post was shared to other biker groups and random people have said they are going to come and are bringing friends."

Mr Jenner and his wife Susan were married for 39 years before she died from cancer in 2015.

His other love in life was bikes and would go to the World Super Bikes with his son Marc.

Hannah, 36, added: "He hasn't biked for five years because of his dementia but he kept it in the garage and revved it up all the time.

"He is an absolute bike nut and a fanatic. He went to the World Super Bikes every year and watched Moto GP.

"His bike is still in the shed and it is pristine.

"Even when he was told he had dementia and had to stop he never would have got rid of his bike."

Any bikers who wish to attend can arrive at TW Boorman in Shipbourne Road from 2.30pm.
