The Funeral of
Graeme 'Snobbie' Robinson 1964 - 2002

Well after travelling up to Dundee the previous night I was not looking forward to what would be Snobbie's last journey.

I arrived at the Church about half an hour before the service and exchanged sympathies with friends in the Saints and Sinners that I knew. The bikers had travelled from far and wide to pay tribute to their friend and the roads were filled with bikes in every direction.

The service started with many people being left outside in the sometimes torrential rain, the usual hymns and prayers were offered and tributes from Snobbie's father talking about antics that he'd been up to in his early biking years. A relative read out a tribute from Snobbies Daughters, as the girls were too upset.

We left the Church a followed the Funeral cortège to the cemetery which was lead by the bikes that Snobbie had owned and built. The Harris which he had never ridden as it was incomplete had been completed by his friends and is a tribute to his skill as a bike builder.

Around three hundred bikes had turned up for this Snobbie's last journey and it seemed that most of the Dundee Police force had turned out to block the roads as the procession passed by.
The funeral ended at Barnhill Cemetery where Graeme 'Snobbie' Robinson was finally laid to rest.

Ride free we will miss you!
