THERE was the perfect send off for a motorbike enthusiast in Crediton today, Friday, July 4, when dozens of bikers provided a motorcycle escort for Harry’s last ride.

Family, friends, well-wishers and bikers gathered in Crediton’s Town Square and followed behind in a motorcycle escort to pay tribute to Harry Mighall.

The hearse left just before 10.45am and headed to the Exeter and Devon Crematorium, all of the motorbikes following behind.

After the service many gathered at the Three Little Pigs in Crediton.

“All my love goes out to his family and friends. Mental health is no joke. Please make time to check on your mates.

“You never know what they’re going through. Rest in peace brother. MentalHealthMatters.”

Harry was an avid biker who was sadly lost on Monday, June 9 aged 28 years.
