Bikers rally round to give care home resident rock-themed send off

The motorcycle community stepped in to give Cheryl Smith-Hinton a fitting send-off as it was thought the 77-year-old had no relatives

When Cheryl Smith-Hinton died her carers came to the heart-breaking conclusion that no-one may attend her funeral as the 77-year-old was thought to have no relatives.

Cheryl loved rock music and the iconic Thunder in the Glens biker rally, so the motorcycle community stepped in to make sure she was given the send-off she deserved.

A few dozen bikers rode alongside her hearse on her final journey, from Grantown, up the A9, and to the crematorium in Inverness.
