A convoy of scooter riders marked the funeral of a popular Sherwood dad, grandad and Mod in fitting Quadrophenia-style.
Grandfather-of-five Danny Pugh died, aged 58, on December 13 after battling a heart condition for seven years.
He worked as a doorman before becoming a DJ.
Mr Pugh owned two scooters and had a passion for Northern Soul and Motown classics as well as Mod staples The Who.
To honour her father, daughter Dee Bonsoir, 32, rallied for people with Mod-style scooters to come forward and help lead the funeral procession.
After posting an appeal ahead of the funeral on Facebook, she was amazed at the reaction from Mods around the country as around 30 riders turned up on Vespas and Lambrettas to provide the colourful procession as friends and family paid an emotional farewell.
The funeral took place on Monday (January 6) and scooters escorted Mr Pugh's coffin from his home in Sheridan Way to Wilford Hill Crematorium.
Ms Bonsoir, a community carer from Brinsley, said: "I had so many responses to the appeal, it was unbelievable.
"To have this send-off is unreal, he would just love it, (it) means so much to us.
“Dad grew up loving mods. He always owned a scooter and went on rides with scooter clubs. He loved 60s and 70s , Northern Soul and Motown.
“He had a few parkas, fox tails for his scooters and he had a bedroom dedicated to the 60s and 70s.
“He loved The Who and Quadrophenia.
“Before his heart condition took over, he was quite in-your-face, with a big sense of humour - sometimes inappropriate.
“Dad was a doorman for many years at various places in Nottingham and Arnold and then a DJ at the Carrington Inn."
She added: “Seven years ago, he was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy.
"He went from being a bubbly, lovely, party animal person to a shadow of his former self.
“He would be bed-ridden for days at a time. He became breathless. He lost his sense of humour. He was quite depressed.
“He wasn’t able to be as active as he used to. He sold his DJing stuff.
“In the last five months, he used to send messages to us saying how much he loved us. He definitely knew what was happening.
“I feel like he hung on until I found someone decent. I’m with a really nice bloke now.
"It felt like as soon as dad knew I was being looked after he was able to go."
Mr Pugh was father to Dee and her brother Ben Bonsoir, 31, as well as younger sons Jack, 11, and Jake, four, who he had with his partner of 18 years, Rachel Coupland.
He also has five grandchildren aged 15, seven, three, two and one.
Mr Pugh's heart stopped on December 8 and, although he was revived by paramedics, he was paced in an induced coma at Nottingham City Hospital on the critical care ward.
On December 13, his family was told he was showing no response and had multiple organ failure, so the decision was made to “let him go”.
