Scots biker dad given one last ride to his own funeral in motorcycle hearse

A biker dad was given one last ride to his own funeral – in a custom motorcycle hearse.

Robert Stewart spent much of his life travelling Scotland on his motorbike – and when he died his family decided to pay tribute to his passion.

When Rovert, a biker from Greenock, sadly passed at 76, his family decided to give him a unique send off – with a motorbike hearse.
