They have been collecting toys and gifts to deliver to children who will spend the Easter holidays in hospital.

On Sunday more than 200 bikers will take the gifts, donated by the public, to children at the Queens Park Hospital in Blackburn, for distribution.

The rally, running for its sixth consecutive year, is organised by the Accrington Motor Cycle Club.

The gifts will be distributed to various children's organisations, including hospitals and care homes.

The group were due to set off from outside the Hope and Anchor pub in Accrington at about noon.
