Allen Bellamy is retracing history and completed the Big Battlefield Bike Ride to honour of members of his family who have served in the Armed Forces.
This year's Big Battlefield Bike Ride has particular meaning for Tom Newton Dunn who is following the journey of his great-uncle, Major David Brooke MC, 75 years ago. "David was killed in a village north of Caen on D-Day plus 3. Three months ago, I resolved to find out more about Maj David Brooke MC and, I hoped, to pay my final respects."
In January 2013 Richard was shot six times, in both arms, chest and stomach. "It's only possible that me and other Veterans get the help and support because people have taken time off work and sacrificed your own time to fundraise. I feel privileged and humbled by it and it’s an honour to cycle alongside every one of them in the coming week.”
Tim Chapman has two personal connections with Normandy which inspired him to take part in this year's Big Battlefield Bike Ride and retrace his family's history.
Crowds cheered, flags waved and steep hills were climbed…and that was before the cycling had even begun!
