John Rhodes sadly died at the age of 67 in July from a lung condition.

Popular biker John was the longest serving member at the Leeds 'chapter' of the Blue Angels - a motorcycle club formed in Scotland in 1963.

The Blue Angels Motorcycle Club was founded by Allan Morrison and Billy Gordon in Glasgow and is the oldest outlaw motorcycle club in Europe.

Club members often ride Triumphs and Norton motorbikes and don jackets bearing the colours of the club.
