Thousands attend bike show
A throng of people gathered to watch some of the most spectacular motorcycling displays in the world - and did their bit for a good cause in the process.
Approximately 10,000 people swarmed to Trinity Park in Suffolk on October 1st to attend the Copdock Motorcycle Show, which is East Anglia's premier one-day biking event and which is now in its 15th year.
As ever, biking enthusiasts were in for an abundance of treats and perhaps foremost among these was the display of the renowned French stunt rider Jean-Pierre Goy, who has appeared in the Bond films For Your Eyes Only and Tomorrow Never Dies.

Event organiser David Baldry told the East Anglian Daily Times: "It went very well. Everyone seems to be pleased with the attractions and they were especially enthusiastic about Jean-Pierre Goy. He is really something special and did four performances - even in the rain."
As well as other stunt riding performances, attendees were also able to view a number of biking attractions, including displays of vintage motorcycles dating back as far as 1915 and a remote control model bike racing contest.
Money raised through the festival will be distributed to a number of local charities, such as the East Anglia Children's Hospice and Ipswich Hospital.
