Was he on a bike or in a car? Awful that a trip to work ends that way yet his hobby was more dangerous. Such a shame x

Well what an emotional day, never seen so many people at a funeral I'v attended, Sherwood Forest Crematorium was overwhelmed never seen so many racers in one place, it spoke volumes about Barry, huge send off for a top bloke.
From his wife Liz.
"What a lucky girl I am. Odd thing to say you might think, but no. Not only did I get to spend 6 1/2 wonderful years with my 'superstar' husband, but I gained the most incredible family, Robert & Glenda James, Craig James, & Chloe Fogg, I love you all very much. I also gained a much, much larger family, my sidecar family, today, you all proved, beyond any doubt what a wonderful bunch you are. I am truly stunned at the send off Barry got today. I want to thank Sam Christie & Jack Tritton for their beautiful words, Andrew Haynes for a fantastic service, & everyone who came from far & wide. Thank you also to my friends & family, who loved Barry very much & saw me happy for the first time in a very long while. I will never be able to express how much today meant to me. Finally, I want to thank my mini superstar , my beastie, my Lily, your daddy & I love you so much, you are my reason to wake up & you are so so loved, by so many people
