Hundreds of people took to the streets to remember an 'amazing man' who collapsed and died after going out running with friends.
Steve Dick, known by many as 'Dickie', passed away suddenly on Monday.
The 62-year-old granddad was a keen runner and member of Hyde Village Striders RC.
It is understood he had just finished a run with the group when he became unwell.
Steve was taken to hospital, but sadly died later that night.
On Wednesday, friends, family and fellow runners took part in a walk in memory of Steve.
They met outside Astley Sports Village in Dukinfield and followed the dad-of-two's final route before ending with a balloon release.

Steve, who lived and worked in Hyde all his life, was married to Julie and had two daughters and four grandchildren, with one more on the way.
Close friend Lee Stafford described him as a 'young at heart' man whose death has left family and friends devastated.
"He's left behind so many friends as everyone loved him." he added.
"He was very fit and healthy, he loved the community, doing park runs and his running club.
"He didn't have a bad bone in his body."
Another pal, Nick Sharman, added: "Steve was a great guy and it was a pleasure working with him and to call him a friend for 13 years.
"I'll miss the nights out, lads holidays and the football trips to Ireland and I feel for his family at this horrible and sad time."
A tribute was also posted on Hyde Park Run's Facebook page.
It read: "It is with great sadness that we write to share the news that regular Hyde parkrunner and Hyde Strider Steve Dick last night passed away suddenly at the end of his run with the club.
"Steve was a lovely man that graced us with his presence 63 times along with his family who also came to run and volunteer."
A Facebook group has been set up in memory of Steve, as well as a fundraising page to help raise money towards his funeral and support his loved ones at this difficult time.
