Tributes have been paid to William who was from the famous Dunlop dynasty.

Sadly, his father Robert died at the North West 200 in 2008, while his uncle, the famous Joey Dunlop lost his life in 2000.

William will be buried alongside his father.

Meanwhile, books of condolence have been opened for William at Ballymoney Town Hall, Coleraine Town Hall, Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady and Sheskburn House in Ballycastle.

William leaves behind his pregnant partner Janine and a daughter Ella whose second birthday is on Sunday.

The couple had been looking forward to the birth of their second child.

His body returned to his mother’s home in Stranocum today (Tuesday).

Rev John Kirkpatrick, who has been chaplain to the Motorcycle Union of Ireland for the past 25 years, will officiate at tomorrow’s funeral.
