Final farewells to 'a loveable rogue'

MOURNERS came together to pay their respects to a 'loveable rogue' who died on the same day as his beloved dog Tess.

Friends and family gathered to celebrate the life of Thomas Anthony Sockett, who was pronounced dead, aged 33 at a Meir home on March 14.

His coffin was escorted by friends on motocross bikes and driving sports cars, to commemorate his love for 'anything with an engine.

His nearest and dearest wore orange hoodies displaying 'Tom 33' on the back, pictured, as his coffin was carried into St Saviour's Church, in Ford Green Road, Smallthorne.
