Organiser Rachael Charlton says the event continues to grow every year

Hundreds of motorcyclists and visitors have gathered in Hornsea for the town's annual bike show.

Hall Garth Park was filled with motorcycles and trikes of all styles and ages, while visitors also enjoyed live music, stalls and fairground rides.

Organisers said the free event attracted people from across the country and was getting "more and more popular".

Rachael Charlton, committee member from Hornsea Events, said: "We've got the bikes, the live music. Whether you like bikes or just want to have a nice day out, it's free and you can just chill out and enjoy it.

"It takes all year to plan. We've been setting this up since Thursday and we wouldn't be able to do this without our volunteers."

All the bikes that came into the park were automatically entered into the show and judges then picked 14 winners in various categories.

Here is a look inside the bike show and what the visitors made of it.

Dave and Debbie, from Driffield, are regular visitors to the show and would recommend it to bike lovers. "You get to see every bike you can think of, from scooters to Harleys. It's a really good show, everyone has time for each other", Dave says
