THE funeral of Jake Brawn, who died in a motorcycle accident last Tuesday, takes place at Taunton Deane Crematorium in Taunton at noon next Tuesday (August 28).

A convoy of bikes and cars is going on a ‘ride out’ from his family home in Dorchester Road before the funeral, organised by Taunton Funeral Service.

Many of the bikers are taking part in a charity ride to Minehead the next day.

The family of Jake, 19, who died after he hit a tree on Honiton Road at Blagdon Hill, have requested no flowers, but donations if desired for road safety charity Brake.
