This was the extraordinary scene when hundreds of Easy Riders roared up to a Lancashire hospital in aid of sick children.
Members of scooter and bike clubs from across the county stopped off at the Royal Preston Hospital on Sunday as part of an annual gift drive for poorly youngsters who will spend their Christmas on hospital wards.

The event, organised by Preston Wildcats Scooter Club, saw at least 150 bikers pile into the hospital car park and hand out chocolate selection boxes and toys – one of the biggest responses in the appeal's history.

Michelle Melling, modern matron for child health, said: "It's a great way to kick off the festive season and will give them something to look forward to."

Youngsters who visit the children's outpatient clinic on a regular basis will also be treated to a selection box in the days prior to Christmas.

And there was such a huge response this year that the nurses also got a few presents too.
