Bike escort for charity champion Aidan Lynam

A motorcade featuring more than 200 motorcyclists escorted the hearse carrying Down Syndrome Ireland fundraiser and avid biker Aidan Lynam’s coffin back to Dublin last night.

The emotional procession made up of his friends and colleagues was in tribute to a 44 year-old father of three who died on Sunday while taking part in the Revup4DSI event which he had founded a decade ago to raise money for the Down Syndrome Ireland.

Mr Lynam’s motorbike collided with a car on the outskirts of Kilkee in Co Clare. He was airlifted to hospital but was later pronounced dead.
