We wish to thank all the courteous drivers who acknowledged and made way for our friend, and riding buddy, Mathew Melly, on his last journey from Witney to Oxford Crematorium on Thursday afternoon.

It was good to see so many people pay their respects by holding back at junctions and roundabouts, and not breaking up his escort of about 60 Harley riders.

Their respect was much appreciated - thank you.

Perhaps the one or two who were too impatient might read this and think differently next time they come across a cortege!
