The Birch and Filbert Fox showed their support to thousands of bikers from across the United Kingdom who will join together for a massive 'Ride Out' on March 28 in support of the RAF Wings Appeal.

"It's a fantastic initiative that was started last year, and I can't believe it has come around again so quickly! The event raised over £10,000 last year and we're happy to support it again. I wish the bikers all the best as they aim to double the amount raised this year," Birch said.

RAF Wings Appeal spokesperson Pete Brocklehurst said: "If you want to make a difference and have a great time while doing so, join in this fantastic event with hundreds of other motorcyclists from across the region. It promises to be an event with a difference, and it's great to have Leicester City's backing."

Entry is just £5 as a minimum donation if you'd like to take part or donate - visit www.rafa.org.uk/eastereggrun for more details.

One of the starting points for them will be Leicester's very own Walkers Stadium where Birch and Filbert Fox met the bikers for a photo shoot today.

The 'RAF Wings Appeal Easter Egg Run' will take place on Sunday, March 28 and funds raised will go to the RAF Wings Appeal, providing help for past and present members of the RAF, including our troops currently serving in Afghanistan.

Last year's event proved to be an incredible visual spectacle with hundreds of members of the public lining the bridges of the M54 to watch almost 3,000 bikers make their final way from Shrewsbury to RAF Cosford.

Following its major success, organisers are hoping to smash the total of people taking part this year.
