BBCA bust containing some of the ashes of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister was exhibited at a festival.
Lemmy’s dressing room was also recreated at the heavy metal festival Bloodstock, including his hat, coat, boots and his personal photo collection.
Festival Director Vicky Hungerford to BBC Radio Derby: “When you go in there, you will feel like you are in Lemmy’s tour wardrobe.”
On Monday, after the event at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, about 30 bikers on Harley Davidsons will transport the bust to Rock City, a concert hall in Nottingham.
Part of the exhibition are Lemmy’s last jar of Marmite and Milky Way bars from the band’s last tour in 2015.
Also in the locker room is a shower cap over a smoke detector and a sticker that reads “Harassment because of my smoking can be harmful to my health.”
Ms Hungerford said festival-goers were also able to see a travelling slot machine “that he took everywhere with him”, his reading glasses and his credit card.
“We do ongoing interviews with Lemmy there, so you’ll hear him speak,” she added.
“Celebrating Lemmy in such a big way will be a once in a lifetime experience for people.”
Mrs Hungerford is married to Lemmy’s former PA and security man Alan Hungerford, whom she met in Derby’s Assembly Rooms in 2010 while watching Motörhead.
“So I booked Motörhead (for Bloodstock) and the rest is history. Without Lemmy and Motörhead we would never have got together.”
Mr Hungerford said: “We have carefully restored it to exactly the way it was when we were on tour.”
He added: “When management first asked us to do this, I was overwhelmed because Lemmy is such a big part of mine and Vicky’s life.
“I miss him every day. I really think I’d still be hanging out with him when I was 70.”
As part of the tribute to Lemmy, the festival also features a replica of a Lancaster bomber that hung over the stage during Motörhead’s Bomber tour in 1979.
After the festival, the specially made bust containing Lemmy’s ashes will be handed over to Rock City.
Motörhead played at the Nottingham venue ten times between 1987 and 2006 and the ashes remain on public display there.
Every August the bust returns to Bloodstock for the duration of the festival.
This year’s Bloodstock started on Thursday and ends tomorrow with more than 120 bands in the line-up.
Lemmy’s ashes were also scattered on the grounds of the Wacken music festival in Germany and were used in a tattoo by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
