Armed forces veterans riding motorbikes marked the funeral of a Nottinghamshire man who died after a crash on the A610.
Former Grenadier Guard Dave Lewan, who lived in Giltbrook, died following a collision involving a lorry in Eastwood on September 18.
He served in the regiment for just under a decade, in India, Northern Ireland and also at Buckingham Palace.
Mr Lewan died at the age of 51 and an inquest into his death is due to take place.
A spokesman for the family paid tribute to him, saying: "He was down to earth, he was a caring person and one that was willing to spread his message about his difficulties in life to help others."
He leaves behind a daughter, sister and a number of half-siblings.
Mr Lewan's funeral was organised on Friday, November 8, with an afternoon service at Gedling Crematorium, Catfoot Lane, Lambley.
About 100 people were expected to attend including representatives from Blesma, the military charity for limbless veterans.
Before the service, about 30 Grenadier Guard veterans riding motorbikes were due to escort the coffin to the service from the funeral parlour.
The convoy was expected to stop off on Coppice Road, Arnold, where Mr Lewan used to live with sister Penny Stringer, 57, a teaching assistant, of Arnold.
Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live ahead of the service, a family spokesman said: "There will be either five or seven Grenadier Guards in uniform who are pallbearers.
"There's going to be at least 20 from the Royal British Legion, who will do a salute.
"The service will last 40 to 45 minutes and then we've booked the Mellish Rugby Club for the wake between 5.30pm and 12am."
Speaking of the veterans planned to attend, the spokesman added: "There are a couple that served with him (Mr Lewan).
"Certainly the people that are the pallbearers there are at least two or three that actually served with him."
Mr Lewan lost a leg during a holiday and was a keen fundraiser for charity.
After his time in the Armed Forces, he worked as a courier driver using a specially-adapted vehicle.
Ian Waller, interim chief executive at Blesma, said: “We were very sorry to hear of the sad loss of Dave Lewan.
"He was a Blesma stalwart and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family.”
A spokeswoman for the Royal British Legion added: "We are saddened by the passing of David Lewan and our thoughts and condolences are with his friends and family at this time.
"We hope the attendance of Royal British Legion members at the funeral brings some comfort to the family and expresses how the Armed Forces community are always there to support their own, even in such sad circumstances.”
