Club captain Luke Ayling has donated his match shirt from the draw with Millwall to the family to drape over Darren's coffin at his funeral.

The car, a Ford Mondeo, was turning right out of a junction when it struck Darren as he travelled towards the city centre.

Tributes left at the scene include a motorcycle-shaped sign crafted in Darren's memory.
