Bikers are called to join the "last ride" of a Blantyre teenager who died following a crash last week.
As we reported at the time, Christopher Keenan was pronounced dead following a collision with an HGV on Saturday, August 3, on the M74 near Hamilton.
Now, a Facebook post is asking bikers to come together for the 18-year-old's funeral on Wednesday, August 21.

James Bain said in the post: "I am looking for as many bikers as possible to give a young lad Christopher a send of he deserves.
"The hearse will be leaving Logan Street, Blantyre, at 9.30am -9:45am on Wednesday, August 21 and heading to South Lanarkshire Crematorium for 10am.
"If any bikers/ biker groups are able to take part in this, could you be at Logan Street for 9.15am and ready to follow Christopher on his final ride?
"If you wish to attend the crematorium, can you be there for 9.45am to welcome Christopher on his last ride?
"Let’s make this a send-off he deserves, could everyone please wear something colourful when attending, please?
"Rest easy young lad, forever young."
