When Australian racing legend Peter Brock died in a rally crash in September 2006, he was just two months shy of his wedding to girlfriend Julie Bamford.

Needless to say, Ms. Bamford was upset, and was as such probably not thinking very clearly when she wed her dead lover in a bizarre “ceremony” while the nine-time Bathurst winner’s body lay in a morgue.

“This sounds rather silly or weird but we were two months off getting married so I did my own little marriage ceremony, which was weird now I think back about it,” Ms. Bamford said.

“But I just flowed through, just did it between him and I… that was difficult.”

Ms. Bamford’s shocking revelations will be aired in an ABC Television documentary, titled Family Fortunes, on July 15.

For those of you who don’t know who Peter Brock is, here’s a couple of YouTube videos of some of his Bathurst wins in the V8 Supercars series’ over the years.
