This is Bristol

Hundreds of bikers from around the world converged in Bristol for the funeral of Michael “Maverick” Bresnan.

The 64-year-old, who passed away on July 14, was the oldest active member of the Hell’s Angels in the UK.

A gun salute from the Lawmen, an a wild west re-enactment group he was part of, set more than 300 bikers on their way from the Packhorse pub in Lawrence Hill to Westerleigh Crematorium, on the outskirts of Bristol.

    “there's always someone isn't there, that has to put the unreasonable comments, and from someone who knows nothing about brotherhood & respect, get a life man, and a grip, if you don't like the way we pay our respects to someone as special and popular as maverick, then move on and don't get involved, you will never have the respect that man had, and i doubt you'll have so many people at your funeral. anyway why am i waisting my time on you,
    R.I.P Maverick and see you on the other side, you will be sadly missed. my thoughts are with you anne,
    love & respect always to the rest of west coast brothers & ol ladies, my closest family, you did maverick proud.
    luv ya”

    “Very humbling. Very poignant. Very gracious.

    I'm not a biker nor a Hells Angel, but Paul and Big Oaf should be very proud of the effort they and their brothers made to provide Maverick with such a marvellous send off. It's a great shame the rest of society can't show such brotherhood of man. You've certainly taught us a lesson in humanity. Thanks.”
