Long lines of cars, scores of motorbikes, many decked out with yellow ribbon and flags, drove slowly through the Somer Valley this evening to remember a young life lost.

Charley Bates, 16, of Radstock, died on Sunday, 31st July in The Street. 

This evening, two weeks to the date, there was a long fleet of cars and then bikes, driven slowly through the town to honour him.

Friends, family, and as one lady Nub News spoke to, just someone who lives in Radstock and wanted to show her respects. Many youngsters were at the spot where he Charly died, while others stood in silence along the main road.

Wearing a yellow T shirt, Charley's favourite colour, the Radstock mother told us: " I am here just to represent the good side of Radstock, and just to say as a mother myself, that I feel so sorry for all the families involved in this. It is a really sad occasion. "

Hundreds of cars and motorbikes travelled in convoy from Charlton Lane in Midsomer Norton slowly down to Radstock, past the Library where flowers and candles are still piled high, and back up through Westfield.
