Large numbers of Hells Angels are converged on Montreal on Saturday for the funeral of a fallen colleague.

Kenny Bedard died in a motorcycle accident on July 29 in New Brunswick.

The funeral will be held at 2:00 p.m. at St. Charles Church in Point St-Charles and there is expected to be a heavy police presence in the area.

Bedard, 51, had just become a full-patch member of the motorcycle gang when he was killed in the crash, which involved several motorcycles and a recreational vehicle near Edmundston. Nine other people were injured.
