Chris Brown was 37 when he died following a collision while riding his Harley Davidson motorbike in Wallsend last month, leaving his family and friends devastated.

The husband and father-of-two was described as a man with “a soul that was built for the road, whose love of motorbikes “wasn’t just a passion; it was his way of life”.

The South Shields dad was part of The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and in an incredible tribute more than a thousand bikers from Hells Angels groups across the UK and the world came to South Shields Crematorium on Saturday, May 10.
