I'm in complete shock but it is being widely reported on various media that Danny Ayres has passed away.

From Mildenhall Speedway -
Danny’s Day – Important Update
Would all Speedway supporters please note that the date for Danny’s big meeting has had to be changed due to confusion with the stadium manager concerning fixtures.
The new date is SUNDAY 7th JUNE at 3pm (Gates will open at midday).
Mildenhall promoter Greg Palmer commented –
“We would like to apologise for this necessary change but hopefully with it being made quickly it will not have impacted supporters who may have begun making travel arrangements for the meeting.
I have now spoken to the stadium owner and this new date does have it’s positives as it will allow me access to the stadium and track a whole week before the meeting.
I would like to thank Mark Phillips at Plymouth for his help in agreeing to move our meeting with Plymouth originally arranged for that date. We will advise supporters of the new date as soon as possible”
Will speedway supporters please share this post far and wide - thank you

Danny will be brought in about 1pm and go round the track escorted by the riders. Then on to the Crematorium for 2pm, Those with small children can watch the funeral streamed live to the Stadium as best not to take them to the Crematorium . Party time at the Stadium afterwards. Fish and chip shop will be open and the bar. Music about 7pm. All welcome to give him a send off. This is a celebration not a wake, so colourful clothing please. Danny's favourite colour is pink.
