Thousands of motorcyclists have joined an annual pilgrimage to the National Memorial Arboretum to remember the UK's fallen service men and women.

More than 7,000 bikers took part in the 10th Ride to the Wall event. 

Riders were paying their respects to those who can 'no longer ride by their side'.

In the decade it has been running, the event has raised more than £600,000 for the Arboretum.

There were 11 official start points around the UK where bikers could begin their journey en masse to join a service at the Armed Forces Memorial, near Alrewas in Staffordshire.

Some came all the way from Scotland to pay tribute.

At the service was music from The Band of the Royal Corps of Signals, Lichfield Gospel Choir, Sincerely Yours, Gari Glaysher, Abigail Carter-Simpson and Oliver Moriarty.
