MOTORBIKE enthusiasts gathered in Portishead to raise money for charity in memory of a friend.

The annual ride was held on February 12 in memory of David ‘Jock’ Loudon, a Portishead father who died in a motorbike accident on the A369 Portbury Hundred four years ago.

The group met at the Argos car park in Wyndham Way before riding into Bristol and ending up at Number Five The Beach in Clevedon for drinks and snacks.

A collection saw money raised for The Rainbow Centre in Bristol, which provides support for bereaved children or families having to cope with serious illness.
