I READ Malcolm Rolling's letter about Darlington biker, Jungle (HAS, June 22). I say let the man rest in peace.

I had known him for 47 years, he was a gentle and loving man who did a lot for charity.

As to bikers who didn't wear helmets, come on, it was showing respect for him.

As you know we all have different chapters in our lives - if you had known him you would not have written this. So let it go and let people remember as they want to.
