Thousands of motorcycle fans will be descending on North Lancashire over the next couple of days, as they head for the TT Races on the Isle of Man.

Last year, more than 8,000 bikers from all over Europe travelled to the island from the port of Heysham.

Lancashire Police will be at the port over the next few days to issue safety advice to the bikers and to make them aware of the road laws in this country.

Practice for the TT is under way with the race week starting on Saturday.
