When their two targets left in a bid to avoid trouble, the maniacs smashed up their car and then turned their blades and hammers on mourners.
We told how a grandad, aged 65, plus two other men aged 30 and 44, were rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
The mass brawl happened last Friday at The Hurlet Crematorium in Barrhead, near Glasgow.
Last night, a source said: 'The Blue Angels turned up to cause terror — masked-up and armed. It was sickening.
"Other mourners told them to leave, and that's when they were attacked.
"The three men injured were civilians paying their respects at a friend's funeral.
The Blue Angels turned up to cause terror — masked-up and armed. It was sickening... It is now being treated as attempted murder

'It is now being treated as attempted murder.'
We told of an ongoing feud between rival biker gangs has been raging for months in the wake of high-ranking BA member Laponder leaving the mob and setting Mad Dogs.
We told how heavily-tattooed Laponder blamed a 'snitch' in his old crew after being caged for bombing a rival's dad's works van in Lennoxtown, Dunbartonshire, in June last year.
The gangs' feud was sparked when ex-Blue Angel Dan Laponder, 44, left to set up his own mob.

Tensions had earlier boiled when a 20-strong mob wrecked a motorbike garage in November 2023.
An insider claimed Laponder then opted to switch sides as a pal was one of two men left with horror injuries in the ambush at Totally Spanners in Glasgow's Hillington.
Our source said in December: 'Dan looked at who was running about with him and decided he'd had enough.'
We told how the brute went on to blow up a BT van used by Blue Angels member David Rollo's father.
ATTACK AFTER CRASH ORDEAL
By Graham Mann
GORDON Luke previously told of being attacked by a mob who burst into his home.
The then 64-year-old told The Scottish Sun how he feared for his life when three blade thugs pounced in Linwood, near Paisley.
Amputee Gordon - who had lost a leg in a March 2018 bike accident - thought he was a goner when the maniacs booted in his front door.
Gordon said in September that year: 'I thought I was going to die. I was terrified.
'They were trying to get to me with knives. There's not much I could do because I'm vulnerable.'
The biker club founder said they showed up after he was mugged by two crooks who'd offered to help with his shopping.
He added: 'I'd bumped into the people who stole the money and said I wanted it back.
'My biker friends warned them to stay away then I heard kicking at the door.
'To do that to someone in a wheelchair is repulsive.'
Weeks later a hooded thug hurled accelerant on a clubhouse in Airdrie in another attack linked to the feud.
Laponder, now holed up at Greenock's prison, previously posed with a sawn-off shotgun.
He was jailed for nine years at Glasgow's High Court in November.
Police Scotland said: 'Around 3pm on Friday officers were called to a report of a disturbance in the Glasgow Road area of Hurlet, Glasgow.
'Emergency services attended and a 30-year-old man was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries.
'Two other men, aged 44 and 65, were taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, both with serious injuries. Enquiries are ongoing.'

Notorious nursery monster and babysitter killer become 'best friends' in jail
Evil nursery worker Roksana Lecka, 22, who assaulted several toddlers, and babysitter killer Sabrina Kouider, 35, have become best pals behind bars at HMP Bronzefield Two of Britain's most twisted inmates have become best friends in prison and even earned a sickening nickname. Nursery worker Roksana Lecka, who attacked 21 toddlers, and babysitter killer Sabrina Kouider, have been dubbed the "glam lags" and have reportedly become "inseparable". The duo are inmates at HMP Bronzefield and allegedly "strut around like they own the place", according to other prisoners who have seen their antics. Despite the severity of their crimes, the pair have reportedly displayed more vanity than contrition and would dress up and cover themselves with fake eyelashes and make-up. It comes as a former Coronation Street resident is sentenced to four years in prison offscreen. It's been claimed they sit around, hang out, and mock other prisoners at the all-female jail, and neither has shown "any remorse" for their sickening crimes, according to those who saw them on a daily basis. Their brazen behaviour and appearance has even earned them the new title and angered even hardened criminals. One former prisoner, who was serving a sentence for assault, said: "Lecka would walk around like she had not done anything - she looks down on people. "She is very good friends with Sabrina Kouider, who killed her babysitter. They are best pals. Sabrina is a narcissistic, horrible person. They will chill together, sit up, talk about people, laugh at them, and make fun of people. They are going on like they own the place. "I would see them every day. I would not talk to Roksana as I couldn't stand what she had done. She was boastful and thinks so highly of herself. She was very vain - always dressed up with eyelashes and make-up on. They were more focused on their image than showing any remorse for what they did." Lecka, 22, was found guilty of 21 counts of child cruelty in June after she abused multiple children in her care following a six-week trial at Kingston Crown Court. She was brought to justice after a Met investigation found Lecka had abused children as young as ten months at two separate nurseries in Twickenham and Hounslow between October 2023 and June 2024. She reportedly became "inseperable" with Kouider, who once had a baby with a Boyzone member before murdering her babysitter. The then 35-year-old was sentenced to life in prison in 2018 alongside her partner Ouissem Medouni, 40, after they tortured their French nanny Sophie Lionnet, 21, before killing her and throwing her body on a bonfire. They were found guilty of her murder in Wimbledon after a trial heard they had a deluded belief she was in league with Mark Walton, the ex-Boyzone band member turned music mogul, with whom Kouider once had a relationship. The fellow prisoner added: "I was appalled and shocked by it. I was disgusted - the way she walked about like she had not done anything. I overheard conversations where she was boasting she was going to get off. "After I got out, I saw on the news a few days ago the scale of what she had done. It was disgusting. I should have known, the fact she befriended Sabrina I should have known she was guilty. "Roksana seemed gleeful. She had no remorse whatsoever for what she did. She was boastful and just thinks so highly of herself. The prison is run by Sodexo and a spokesperson for HMP Bronzefield spokesperson said: 'We don't comment on individuals."

Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after ‘asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault
It comes after a migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault on Friday ASYLUM RAGE Hundreds of protesters take to streets near migrant hotel after 'asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANTI-Asylum protestors have gathered outside the Britannia Hotel again today. The Pink Ladies group waved Union Jack and England flags while others let-off smoke flares in the street.

The incident occurred in the Isle of Dogs on Wednesday night before he was detained by nearby members of the public. He was arrested by police on suspicion of common assault and he remains in custody. MailOnline reported that the man was a migrant staying in a Canary Wharf hotel. He reportedly entered the woman's house after being told to "go back to the hotel" where anti-migrant protestors were gathered. The 22-year-old woman whose flat he entered was arrested on Wednesday evening. Channay Augustus has since been charged with a number of offences including possession of an offensive weapon, affray, assault on an emergency worker, common assault and possession of cannabis. The affray and common assault charge relate to an incident at the Britannia Hotel in Marsh Wall which occurred on Wednesday evening. It concerned an alleged attack on a security guard at the hotel. She is due to appear in court later this morning. The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests after it was used for migrants arriving into Britain. It was closed to paying customers and converted into taxpayer-funded 'surge' accommodation for illegal arrivals in the UK. Earlier this week a coach load of asylum seekers were seen running into the four-star establishment under the cover of darkness. The Sun previously reported how mattresses, drinks and bed frames were shipped into hotel, which branded itself as the 'perfect' place for tourists to spend a weekend. 9 A migrant in his 20s was arrested for common assault after entering a woman's flat on Friday in the Isle of Dogs Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 The Britannia Hotel has been the subject of recent protests Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Huge banners have been displayed reading: 'We're not far right but we're not far wrong... stop the boats' Credit: George Cracknell Wright The 500-room hotel – said to have 'superb views over London' – was designated for asylum seekers in a move that has angered anti-migrant protesters who staged peaceful demonstrations outside. Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach, with most dressed in grey tracksuits. The first arrivals were taken in at around 1.40am to be given rooms. They were helped by masked security guards working as private contractors for the Home Office. The use of the flash financial district hotel, one of around 210 hotels in use for asylum housing, was previously branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers. When open to the public, a standard room had cost as much as £425 a night – though it will cost the Home Office £81 a night. Amenities include a games room with a pool table and gym, though it is unclear if migrants will be allowed to use them. An indoor pool and sauna are thought to have been shut down. A Tower Hamlets Council spokesman told The Sun previously: 'We are aware of the Government's decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. 'It is important that the Government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place." The Home Office previously said: 'We inherited a broken asylum system from the Tories with costs spiralling out of control. 'As part of the plan to restore order and close all asylum hotels by the end of the parliament, we are boosting border security, substantially increasing removals of those with no right to be here. 'We are also tackling the Tories' wasteful contracts by ending the use of more expensive accommodation and moving to cheaper options.' 9 The Britannia has been designated for asylum seekers Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Earlier this month, the first arrivals saw about 40 male asylum seekers sent to the hotel by coach Credit: George Cracknell Wright 9 Use of the hotel to house asylum seekers has been branded as farcical and an 'insult' to taxpayers Credit: George Cracknell Wright More to follow...
