Wally spent many years of his life working at Currys in Kettering. From the '50s to the '70s, he was selling and repairing bicycles and mopeds and gained much experience about out types of club bikes and engines.
Wally's funeral was at the church of St Mary the Virgin in Higham Ferrers on 7 June. The church was packed with 200 mourners and, outside, Wally's pristine Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire to give him a good send-off.
