Thousands of bikers create spectacular ‘Ring of Red’ around M60 for Remembrance Sunday
As the sun beat down over a crisp Autumn lunchtime in Stockport, the revs of engines could be heard across the M60. But this wasn’t the usual traffic on a weekend - this was thousands of bikers in red gear.
Each group was released in staggered sections in order to not hold up the stream of traffic, meaning there was a constant flow of red riders as they made their way round. As they passed by the bridge they were met with cheers and waves, and in response beeped their horns, flashed their headlights and revved their engines.
This is one of many rides of respect across the country, and they certainly did the Manchester proud. “It has become a hugely popular physical show of support for the armed forces, both past and present.
