THE funeral of a man who was killed in a motorbike accident was held on Tuesday.

Relatives and friends of 35-year-old Christopher Brophy gathered at St Theresa's RC Church in Wilmslow for a requiem mass. This was followed by committal at Macclesfield Crematorium.

Mr Brophy, of Stand Lane, Radcliffe, died on December 5 when his Honda motorbike collided with a Mercedes cement mixer lorry in Trafford Park.

A member of the family said: "He was a much-loved uncle and enjoyed nothing more than spoiling his nephew and three nieces. Chris will be sadly missed by all his friends and family."
