“We will be doing two rides, one around the village and another to the Humber Bridge. We will be shaking buckets and have a QR code for payments by card, so no excuses."

Anyone wanting to join in with the ride can get in touch with Simon Lake on 07920015957 or Sue on 07862544329.

She added: “We also want to raise awareness for men's mental health. Men are always told not to cry and deal with it - this needs to change to save more lives. Moz was well liked around the village, let’s give him the send off he deserves.”
