A ride along the town's seafront was held to pay tribute to Alfie.

Alfie Gray, 18, was killed in a collision on the A370 near Hewish, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, last month on his way home from work.

A ride along Weston's seafront was held on Thursday before a funeral service, which was attended by Alfie's family and friends. Mark Threadgold, a member of the motorbike group Alfie was in, said: "I'll never forget his smile, I'll never forget him towering above everyone being really joyful and happy."

A man was arrested for causing death by dangerous driving and later released under investigation after the incident on 10 September at about 22:20 BST. The road was closed in both directions between the M5 Junction 21 roundabout and Congresbury for more than 12 hours.They also hope to organise charity events linked to road safety, and a Christmas drive delivering toys for children in hospital in Alfie's honour.Mr Threadgold continued: "He just made everyone so happy. He had this aura about him, it lightened the room when he appeared."His contagious smile is what I'll remember him for.
