World Champion Motorcycle Racer. Born William David Ivy, 'Bill' unexpected arrived early in an ambulance on the way to the local hospital at Pembury, Kent. He is regarded though as a Maidstone lad.

I highly recommend the well-written biography by Nanni Dietrich on www.motorsportmemorial.org/index

After his fatal crash at the East German GP at Sachsenring, he was brought back to Ditton, near Maidstone, where a service took place at St.Peter's Church. Rivals Mike Hailwood and Phil Read attended. A private service then took place at the Medway Crematorium, Robin Hood Lane, Blue Bell Hill Village.
