On Saturday, 16th May 2026, the clear blue skies echoed to the unmistakable thunder of engines as the Royal British Legion Riders Branch came together for our annual Memorial Run<\/sup>. It was a deeply moving and poignant day, dedicated entirely to honouring, remembering, and celebrating the lives of our fallen branch members who are no longer riding with us<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any motorcycle branch, the bonds forged on the open road run incredibly deep<\/sup>. We are more than just an organisation; we are a family brought together by a shared passion for riding and an unwavering commitment to the values of remembrance<\/sup>. When a member leaves our ranks for the final time, they leave behind an irreplaceable gap in our line-up and a lasting imprint on our hearts<\/sup>. Saturday\u2019s run was our way of ensuring that their laughter, their camaraderie, and their dedication are never forgotten<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turnout was a powerful testament to the spirit of our branch<\/sup>. Row upon row of polished machines stood side by side, flags catching the wind, as riders from near and far gathered to pay their respects<\/sup>. Before setting off, a quiet solemnity filled the air as we paused to reflect on the names of those we have lost<\/sup>. It was a moment of profound gratitude for the miles shared and the memories made<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
