HOW proud and overwhelmed I was to see that the bikers of Eastern Lights kept their promise and continued with the tradition they have set for the past eight years and turned up at Lowestoft on Sunday.

I understand the total number of recorded bikes that gathered on Royal Green was in excess of 1,200.

The charitable monies they raise for the James Paget University Hospitals' A&E department is greatly need.

On behalf of the community of Lowestoft I give a heartfelt thank you and look forward to seeing them again next year.
