Mr Grant-Mills' son, Jack, said: "He was always about motorbikes, he'd had motorbikes all his life.

"He had a crash 20 odd years ago and paralysed his left arm but it still didn't stop him.

"It's just he's always been about bikes so we figured we'd try and get as many as we could."

Mr Grant-Mills was also a lifelong Castleford Tigers fan, and mourners are asked to wear Castleford Tigers shirts or colours to the funeral.
