A convoy of 55 Harley Davidson motorbikes has delivered Lemmy's ashes to Nottingham's Rock City

The bust of Lemmy arrives at Nottingham Rock City.

After a weekend in which a bust containing the ashes of late Motörhead leader Lemmy was displayed at the UK's annual Bloodstock Festival, the historic artefact has journeyed to its new home at Nottingham's Rock City. It was delivered to the venue – where Motöhead played 10 shows between 1987 and 2006 – at the head of a convoy of 55 Harley Davidson motorbikes. 

The bust will return to Bloodstock for future festivals, but will remain at Rock City for the rest of the year, displayed next to a commemorative plaque that includes a line from Motörhead's classic Ace Of Spades: "You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, but that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever."
