HARLEY Davidson motorcycles, rock stars and radio legends were among those who attended the funeral of beloved DJ Johnnie Walker.

The star, who passed away on New Year’s Eve aged 79, was laid to rest at St Peter’s Church, in Shaftesbury, on January 17.

And the congregation included many notable names who were friends and former colleagues of the BBC Radio 2 legend.

Among them were former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and radio legends Tony Blackburn, Simon Mayo and Jeremy Vine.

Whispering Bob Harris, who announced his friend’s passing, was also in Dorset for the funeral.

BBC and ITV sports presenter John Inverdale was also among mourners, alongside the likes of former BBC presenter Suzi Perry, radio host Paul Gambaccini and Green Wing actor, Pippa Haywood.

Also in attendance was a cortege of Harley Davidson motorcycles, whose riders organise a ‘ride of honour’ for fellow aficionados of the bikes – as Johnnie was.

After Johnnie’s passing, Robert Plant paid tribute to a “cool, kind man who kept the bar high for all of us who loved him”.
