Priest shakes holy water from the back of motorbike driven by masked youth at funeral for Saul Cookson
Riding pillion on a motorbike driven by a masked youth a priest follows a funeral cortege from a cemetery. Video footage captured Father Frankie Mulgrew, son of comedian Jimmy Cricket, shaking holy water from an aspergillum, as the machine follows a line of cars.
Throughout the day of the funeral there was disorder, mainly in the Pendleton area of Salford which saw fireworks launched at a police station and a van, and a car set alight. Two officers who were in a marked BMW X5, stopped following Saul after he passed through a set of bollards at the junction with Lower Seedley Road, police said.
A Diocese of Salford Spokesperson said: "On Tuesday 11th July following a funeral, one of our clergy blessed funeral goers who had been in attendance. The blessing took place on the back of an off-road bike. At the time he viewed this interaction as a gesture of outreach.
