Queen Elizabeth II was remembered in the North East at the weekend by a group of bikers who took part in a special ride across the region.
A total of 50 bikers gathered in Ouseburn on Saturday to take part in a ride of respect in Her Majesty's memory, following her death on September 8 at the age of 96. Some participants have served in the Armed Forces and wanted to pay their respects to the late Queen, who had been Commander-in-Chief of the Forces throughout her 70-year reign.
Mal Jowsey, who co-organised the ride of respect, said: "I'm an ex Navy guy and we have a number of veterans who ride regularly with us and it seemed appropriate to do a ride in remembrance for her. It seemed a fitting way for bikers to express respect for her."
