Dozens of mourners are expected to attend the funeral of a bike fanatic killed in a horrific motorcycle accident.

The family of Gavin Turner, 30, say wearing black will not be necessary at tomorrow's service.

A green-and-white floral tribute in the shape of Mr Turner's Kawasaki motorbike will be made in memory of him.

Mr Turner, of Dallington Road, Eastbourne, was killed on June 8 when his 900cc Kawasaki ZX9R was hit from behind while travelling at 150mph during a race.

Seven other riders were involved in the crash at Brands Hatch circuit in Kent, where they were competing in the Powerbike Southern Championship.

Sales engineer Mr Turner, a former pupil of Hampden Park School, now Eastbourne Technology College, was due to marry his fiancee, Nicky Taylor, in August.

His mother, June Turner, of Croxden Way, Eastbourne, said the family had been left bereft by his death but he had died doing what he loved best.

The funeral service will take place in the main chapel of Eastbourne Crematorium tomorrow from 11.30am.

All friends are welcome.
