Classic motorcycles cruise into Chichester for charity
Hundreds of riders are suited and booted for The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Classic motorbikes are riding into Chichester today to raise awareness about men's health.
Hundreds of riders are suited and booted for The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride.
The event is taking place in over 1000 cities worldwide to raise funds to support men's mental health and prostate cancer.
The West Sussex ride starts in Shoreham and finishes in Chichester at approximately 1pm with a parade along North Street through to West and South Streets.
The ride has visited the city centre for the past three years, raising tens of thousands of pounds for men’s mental health support.
A "dapper" themed market will also be taking place on East Street between 10am and 4pm.
"We’re really pleased to be working with the ride organisers again this year,” says Laurence Foord, Divisional Manager for Licensing, Communications and Events at Chichester District Council.
“It’s a unique event that supports a wonderful cause – last year’s event created a real spectacle in the city centre which many people enjoyed.
"The idea behind the dapper market is to help enhance the event, encourage people into the city centre to enjoy the motorcycles and stay longer to support local traders and businesses."
