The brother of a 'Traveller King' has been buried next to Britain's biggest headstone after being conveyed in a funeral cortege with a fleet of Rolls Royces.
Terry Collins, 52, was buried next to his brother Willy's huge 37-ton, £200,000 marble gravestone after a lavish funeral procession in Sheffield, South Yorks.
A silver Rolls Royce led the procession, complete with fluorescent lighting and some of his favourite songs playing.
A red carpet was laid out on the entrance to St Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church, ahead of the mourners arriving, along with a giant photograph in a frame of poppies.
His lavish platinum casket was carried into the church, were friends wore T-shirts with a photograph of his face and the caption: “RIP Terry Collins ‘The Toucher’.”
Parked outside the church were two trucks, with spectacular floral tributes in the shape of hearts and one showing Terry in his work gear, complete with a high-vis vest.
As mourners gathered around the family's burial plot, an electronic board displayed pictures of Terry, alongside poems and family tributes.
A plane also flew over the cemetery, creating the shape of a heart in one manoeuvre.
Terry died on September 25, four years after his brother Willy, 49, passed away on holiday in Spain.
