A procession of motorbikes will escort a funeral cortege through Bewdley this morning to pay tribute to a "fun-loving" 38-year-old.
Dean's Peplow's funeral is being held at Bewdley Baptist Church at 11am and is expected to attract around 400 mourners.
Dean's father, Graham, said he and his wife, Noreen, had been inundated with messages of condolence and were expecting around 30 motorbikes in the funeral procession, which will start at Park Lane, in Bewdley.
Dean died in hospital in Birmingham following a motorbike accident near Little Hereford on Sunday, June 12.
