The Swindon biker community has helped give a fallen member's daughter a prom to remember. 

Mike Allen died in an accident on the A419 after he came off his bike near Blunsdon on July 7 last year.

He left behind his wife of 21 years Rachel, his 22-year-old son Thomas, his 16-year-old daughter 'Izzy', his 11-year-old son Joseph, and a young granddaughter.

In a show of support for Mike and his family, almost 40 bikers accompanied the late dad's coffin in a horse-drawn carriage for his funeral last year.

And now, almost a year after his death, the biker community has once again rallied behind the Allen family to accompany Izzy to her school prom on Friday, June 30. 

Roughly 20 motorcyclists gathered at the family home while Izzy got into a limo, and the group travelled together in convoy to the Swindon Town Football Club stadium, the County Ground.

Izzy's mother Rachel Allen talked about the amazing arrival for her daughter, and what the support of the biker community has meant for her. 

"It was so special to have them all come," she said.

"Them coming brought a part of her dad Mike to her prom with her and we definitely pulled it off for her."

She added that Mike would also have been blown away by the support of his fellow bike-lovers 

"I know he would have loved seeing Izzy accompanied to her prom by a load of bikers and he would have loved to have seen it. He would be so grateful to Swindon Bikers.

"Izzy & her brothers all loved it because it was like their dad was here with us."

To cap off an amazing night, Izzy was crowned the prom queen at the end-of-school event, much to the delight of her mother. 

"Izzy just text me, she's just been voted prom queen, I'm absolutely blown away. I can't believe it. I'm hysterical."

Late last year, Rachel was able to fulfil her husband's wish for Izzy that she continues to follow her passion for showjumping. 

The grieving mum was determined to do something positive and travelled miles to get a new horse to form a partnership with Izzy in November, and the pair have been competing together since then. 

Rachel added: "Our lives won’t ever be the same ever again and we just want to make Mike proud.”
