Helt i den afdøde frontmands ånd

I fredags gik tusindvis af fans på gaderne i byen Braintree i Essex for at hædre The Prodigy-vokalisten Keith Flint, som på tragisk vis gik bort den 4. marts, kun 49 år gammel.

Det hele var et initiativ arrangeret af The Prodigy, som i forrige uge opfordrede gruppens fans til at gå procession i forbindelse med bandmedlemmets begravelse.

Fans are invited to line the procession route, starting at 3pm in Braintree, Essex on Fri 29th March, to pay their final respects & 'raise the roof' for Keef!
If anyone wishes to lay flowers or tributes these should be sent to St Mary's church in Bocking, no later than 2pm Friday pic.twitter.com/cMTDv2jKi9

Selve ceremonien inde i kirken var kun åben for venner og familie, men fansene kunne følge begravelsen uden for via højttalere. Og i sand Keith Flint-ånd udviklede det hele sig til en stor fest.

Se nogle film fra processionen og fansenes hyldester:
