Hundreds of mourners from all over world join iconic Scots biker Allan Morrison's funeral procession
Hundreds of bikers from all over the world descended on Glasgow to take part in a funeral procession for late Scots biker, Allan Morrison.
We told how the 77-year-old died of lung disease COPD on January 29.
Around 400 bikers paraded from Maryhill Road to Glasgow Crematorium, while Allan's coffin was placed in a side-car.

One bystander told the Record: "Bikers were there from across mainland Europe, Scotland and England.
"The coffin was in a side-car and everyone was lined up behind it to drive from the funeral parlour to the crematorium.
"Police closed the side roads to let all the riders past, which took around six minutes.
"So many people were there to pay their respects, it was amazing."

He added: "You could see all of the bikers' jackets which showed where they came from.
"They were from Germany, Belgium, Aberdeen, Dundee, the Borders and there were others from south."

At the time of Allan's death, his family said it was “with regret” they had to announce the death of the president of the Blue Angels, “the oldest one per cent motorcycle club in Europe”.
The “one per cent” is often used to describe so-called outlaw motorcycle Clubs.
His family added: “Allan was much loved by his friends, family and fellow bikers all over the world.”
Morrison and his best friend Billy Gordon founded the Blue Angels in 1963, with chapters across Scotland and the north of England as well as seven in Belgium and two in Spain.
