Thousands of race fans have paid their last respects to Geoff Duke.
The first major star of motorcycle racing, he won six TT races in the 1950s and was the first rider to wear one-piece leathers.
Bikers and fans followed the procession around the course, including Geoff's sons Peter and Mike who followed the hearse on motorcycles as their own tribute.
