The funeral of a teenage motorcyclist who was killed in a crash was taking place on Thursday.

Hundreds of people were expected to line the streets of Holme Wood to say goodbye to 19-year-old Anthony Pearson ahead of a funeral service at 10.30am at St Christopher's Church in Holme Wood.

Anthony, who was a popular face on the estate, was fatally injured when his Yamaha bike was in collision with a Toyota Carina in Broadstone Way, Holme Wood, on May 5.

The service was due to be followed by interment at West Bowling Cemetery.
