Final Farewell to Albert Emmett
Mon 2nd Jun 2003, 08:37 PM
Reported by: onthespot
People came from all over the world to say their last goodbyes to Albert Emmett.

Old Park Lane was closed for a time as a cavalcade of bikers paid their last respects to Southport’s Mr Harley Davidson. Among the mourners were the "Wrecking Crew GB" Bikers.

Pictured below are "Wrecking Crew" arriving in the cortege.





Albert's framed biker jacket.



Also present at the funeral was Bobby Angel who had travelled from Holland to be at Albert's funeral, also there, Billy Armstrong one of the many friends that Albert had. The bikers provided an escort for the funeral cortège, the vehicle behind carried Albert’s framed biker jacket.

The family can be justly proud of the huge turn out to say goodbye to such a popular figure in the biking world.


Pictured below is Bobby Angel who travelled from Holland to pay his last respects.

Very nice, respectable pictures of a sad occasion.

That last picture is really good, did you have to shinny up a lampost or something!!

I lived next door to the Emmetts for most of my life, only moving away last November. Albert always said hello and we had a few chats over the garden wall. Thanks for letting me pick up my parcels so much and for being so cool when you chased away those kids.
