Funeral of Eddie Christian today (Wed)
A passionate, straight-talker and a friend to motorcycling will be remembered later today (Wednesday).
The funeral of Eddie Christian is to be held at Ballaugh Parish Church at a quarter to 12 (11.45am).
He and wife Rosie were well-known mine-hosts at the Sulby Glen pub and involved in many aspects of motorcycling in the Island.
Chairman of the Manx Motorcycling Club, Harvey Garton, says Eddie made a tremendous contribution to the sport.
