Bikers lined the streets of Fulwood as tributes were paid to a dad-of-three who died in Avenham.

Paul Pearson was found dead aged just 28.

A post-mortem showed Paul died from sleep apnoea.

His funeral took place on Thursday (1 August) at Preston Crematorium.

Dozens of bikers followed the funeral procession through Fulwood from Glebe Close to the Crem at Longridge Road.

More than £1,000 was raised to help Paul’s family towards the funeral costs and for the future of his three daughters.

Paul was found dead on Sunday 14 July at a property in Greenwood Street.

Sleep apnoea is a serious condition where the muscles in your throat relax during sleep and can cause you to stop breathing.

Paul was a well-known face around Preston having worked on the doors as security at a number of bars and nightclubs.

A Justgiving page is continuing to receive donations in Paul’s memory.
