THE family of talented cyclist Finlay Tarling have announced details of his funeral following his tragic death last month.

The service will take place at Aberystwyth Crematorium on Thursday, 17 September, and will be followed by refreshments and a celebration of Fin's life at Tŷ Glyn, Ciliau Aeron, Lampeter.

Fin's family have stressed that the day is intended to be a celebration of his life, with no formal dress code. Those attending are encouraged to wear whatever they feel comfortable in, including bright colours, sporting tops, cycling jerseys, tracksuits and hoodies.

For family, friends and supporters unable to attend in person, the service will also be livestreamed. Further details, including the viewing link and password, will be released nearer the date.

The former Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron pupil, and younger brother of INEOS rider Josh Tarling, died on 14 August after a collision with a motor vehicle during Stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal race.
