About a hundred mourners attended a lavish wake for dad Tommy Sharp who died following a police pursuit.
It was held in a huge marquee erected on rough ground in Miles Platting, with mourners seen revving a variety of supercars up and down Oldham Road on Monday night.
Among the cars was a Lamborghini and a soft-top Rolls Royce, which had a picture of Tommy on the door as well as the words 'no 1 Tommy Sharp'.
Floral tributes which spelled out 'film star' were also seen being carried from vans into the event.
Mourners could be seen drinking and a fire was lit outside the marquee, which was erected on a parcel of rough ground beside Bulldog Metals Ltd.
A police Tactical Aid Unit van was stationed nearby during the early evening but moved away later.
One eye-witness said: "It was quite a large event, about a hundred people.
"They were revving loads of supercars up and down Oldham Road. There wasn't any music coming from the marquee though. It wasn't loud."
Under current coronavirus rules, the maximum number of people allowed at a funeral is 30.
It wasn't clear whether the wake was also being held to honour Tommy's friend Paddy Connors who also died following the police pursuit.
Inquests into the deaths of Paddy Connors, 36, and Tommy Sharp, 29, were opened and adjourned last week.
Both lost their lives when a car they were in crashed into two other cars on Frederick Road, Salford, following the short pursuit.
Paddy, who leaves a wife and four children and lived in Wigan, and married father-of-two Tommy, from Salford, were in a Mercedes C class car at the time, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.
The police watchdog is investigating.
In an update into the tragedy last week, the IOPC said initial enquiries have shown an unmarked police car - an Audi - activated its emergency lights and siren to signal to the Mercedes to stop.
Following a short pursuit, which lasted less than a minute along Lower Broughton Street and Frederick Road, the Mercedes collided with two cars, both Volkswagen Passats, the watchdog added.
The collision happened at around 11.40pm on Wednesday, September 23.
The driver of the first Passat escaped injury, but the driver of the second VW, a taxi, suffered minor injuries.
Two women who were passengers in the back were taken to hospital with serious injuries now not thought to be life-threatening, the IOPC added.
Friends and family flooded Facebook with pictures of the men and tributes to them.
Scores of touching messages have been posted.
Tommy lived with his wife and young children in Salford.
Nicknamed 'Mush', he was described as 'the life of the party' and a 'loving and caring dad, husband, brother and uncle'.
Paddy leaves behind a wife and four children.
He is understood to have lived in Wigan.
A relative said: "It's a very big loss for us all. He was a kind, loving, easy-going person.
"Everyone loved Paddy."
Greater Manchester Police said the Mercedes was 'observed being driven at speed'.
No arrests have been made.
