HAVING?seen, online, a report entitled "Exmouth motorcyclist's funeral attracts global-wide mourners", I would like to pay my respects to Simon Batten.

He was my cousin but I never really saw much of him as we got older, but still heard lots about him. He sounded like a really nice bloke - and it must be true by the way all the people turned up to pay their respects to him. God rest your soul, Simon. And all my love to my Uncle John, thinking of you.

Anthony Batten,

40 Middleton Road,

Felpham, Bognor Regis.
