Hundreds of bikers have been gathering in Reading for the annual Berkshire Egg Run.

More than 450 bikes, trikes, quads and scooters took part in the event to deliver 1,800 Easter eggs for children across the county.

Motorcyclists gathered at Stadium Way in Tilehurst before setting off for Abbey Rugby Club in Emmer Green.

The Easter eggs will be distributed by the Rotary Club and Southcote Children's Centre.

The marshalled convoy left Tilehurst at 12:30 BST, passing through Pangbourne, Whitchurch in Oxfordshire, and Sonning Common.

The ride, organised by Thames Vale Vultures Motorcycle Owners Group, is now in its 17th year.

Easter eggs were donated by participants, local businesses and community groups.

Last year, organisers collected 1,283 eggs, which were delivered by 301 motorcyclists and 40 pillion riders.
