A Puerto Rican biker attended his own funeral on the back of his beloved Honda racing motorcycle.
Hell's Angel David Morales - blasted to death in a gun battle in San Juan - left instructions that he wanted to be buried with his bike.
So undertakers mounted him on the machine, carefully hiding a series of body braces underneath his clothes and covering his eyes with wraparound sunglasses.
Finally they placed the display between two torches so mourners could pass by and pay their respects.
Morales' favourite album - Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell, which has a biker bursting out of a grave on the cover - was also played at the service.
His uncle Jose Torres said: "He went out as he would have wanted. It was the last gift we could give him to honour his wishes."
A spokesman for the funeral company Marín in San Juan explained: "It was an unusual ceremony - but we aim to please."
