Bikers will be riding to The Arboretum in Staffordshire to remember the service men and women who’ve lost their lives in the line of duty since WW2.

The wall contains the names of 16000 people who’ve lost their lives since WW2 and the ride mirrors the Ride to the Wall event, which is held annually in America.

This is the first event in the UK, organized by the Nene Valley HOG Chapter, and already over 800 bikes are registered to take part.

Riders should head to the Moto Services at Junction 10 by the A5 and M42 interchange for 8.30am to register. The Ride to the Wall will leave the services at 11am and head up the A5 to the A38.

A £5 registration fee is required with the money raised being put towards maintaining the wall.

Bikes with service flags will ride at the front ready to form a guard of honour upon arrival at the Arboretum with the other bikes to park either side of Millennium Avenue.

A short service will be held at 12.15pm which will be followed by a bugler playing The Last Post.

Once the service is over and those at the Arboretum have had time to look around there will be two return rideouts, one to Stratstone Harley-Davidson, Birmingham and the other to Silverstone Harley-Davidson, Towcester leaving at 1.30pm.

There is also a party from 6pm at Silverstone Harley-Davidson, Towcester for the first 250 people who receive their commemorative badge.
