Armed Forces day
Originally uploaded by CrazyDave53
100's of Harley Davidsons roared into South Tyneside at the weekend to pay respect to the thousands of servicemen and women fighting on the front line in battle zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
Organised by the Badlanders Motorcycle Club, based around North East England, more than 100 bikers made their way to South Shields coastline to celebrate the first Armed Forces Day.
The bikes parked up on the field of Bents Park and visited the various stalls set up by the Army, including paint-balling activities.
The free open day, organised between 205 Battery and the nearby squadron 324 Air Cadets, featured various Army-style activities throughout the day, including field craft demonstrations and drills.
And people got the chance to see an Army rocket launcher up close, while the kids found out how to apply camouflage face paint from professional soldiers.
