Bikers ride in 25th Martin Jennings Memorial Run

The annual ride is in memory of Martin Jennings who died in the Isle of Man Grand Prix in 1987

More than 1,500 bikers have taken part in the 25th charity ride to honour a Cornish motorcycle racer.

Martin Jennings, from Camborne, was killed in an accident in the Manx Grand Prix in 1987.

Organisers said motorcyclists from across the country had attended the ride from Truro to Falmouth.

The Martin Jennings Memorial Run has become an annual event to remember the 39-year-old and is believed to be one of the biggest charity rides in the UK.

Dave Saunby, who organises the ride, said: "We first started out with about 30 bikes in Falmouth. Now we're getting 1,500 - it's just amazing."

Event organisers said the run had raised about £4,000 for the Phoenix Stroke Appeal, which aims to raise £500,000 to improve stroke services in Cornwall.
