HUNDREDS of mourners today paid tribute to a teenager killed in a motorcycle crash almost two weeks ago.

Carl Cocks, 19, was riding his 125cc Yamaha TZR along Upton Road in Callow End last Saturday, when he was involved in the incident with two cars.

Flowers, cards and photographs have been left at the scene, Facebook groups have been set up in tribute and friends of Carl have arranged a 'cruise' event for some time around the end of this month.

But today it was time for family and friends to say their final farewells to the young man.

Biker mates of Carl, a former Chase pupil from Malvern, followed the hearse and revved their engines in tribute before his wicker coffin was carried into Worcester Crematorium.

In eulogy his father, Don Cocks, said: “It’s hard for me to put into words the grief I’m feeling.

"He always said all he needed was his bike and somewhere to sleep and everything else would take care of itself.

"We thought of Carl as a loveable rogue because he was always up to something.”
