Island salutes Geoff Duke

by isleofman.com 11th May 2015
Thousands of race fans have paid their last respects to Geoff Duke.
They lined the Mountain Course yesterday (Sunday) afternoon to salute the six-time World Road Race Champion as the hearse carrying his coffin took him on a final lap of a course that made him famous.
The first major star of motorcycle racing, he won six TT races in the 1950s and was the first rider to wear one-piece leathers.
Bikers and fans followed the procession around the course, including Geoff's sons Peter and Mike who followed the hearse on motorcycles as their own tribute.
John Moss saw them depart the Grandstand.Clip 1
