The family of the ex Royal Marine, who had part of his leg amputated after a car crash in 2007, has asked bikers to escort the funeral cortege from his family's home in South Wootton to the Catholic Church of the Holy Family.

The 37-year-old died after he was involved in a collision with another motorcycle during a race at Thruxton, Hampshire, on Sunday, August 6.

He rode for True Heroes Racing - a team of ex-service personnel who have suffered severe injuries.

The procession will start at 2.10pm from Oak Avenue before moving onto Wootton Road and then Rosebery Avenue and onto the church for 2.30pm.

In a statement released by Mr Fincham's family they described him as an 'inspiration to us all and to those who knew him'.
