Hundreds of caring bikers took to the streets of Stoke-on-Trent today to help make sure needy youngsters have a present on Christmas Day. The 46th Star Bikers Toy Run saw around 2,000 meet up at Stoke City's bet365 Stadium before heading around the Potteries.

Their route saw them take in Trentham, Blurton, Weston Coyney, Bentilee, Baddeley Green, Milton, Sneyd Green and Northwood. Big-hearted residents were also lining the streets with several handing over donations.

Those donations were then collected in at Stoke's King's Hall. It was a stunning sight on the city's roads with many bikers dressing up for the occasion to the delight of the youngsters waiting to see them.

Horns were sounded and engines were revved as the bikers received applause and cheers all over the city.

We captured the bikers in our video as they headed along Baddeley Green which saw a slight tweak to the usual route due to flooding further down Baddeley Green Lane.

More details and photographs of today's run can be found on the Star Bikers Facebook page here.
