The bikers road slowly to the south parking area at Sandwick Cemetery.

The bikers rode slowly and lined up at the south lane at Sandwick Cemetery.  Several mourners said afterwards that it was an appropriate and respectful tribute to Billy, who had a lifelong interest in motorbikes.

In Memory of my good friend Billy.

It is hard to believe that you have now gone
When I look on the days when we were so young
It seems as if it were just yesterday
That we both worked together at home and away
Two wheels took us here, two wheels took us there
And many a good time did both of us share
Like all things in life, they must come to an end
Goodbye, rest in peace, dear Billy my friend.
