Residents at a care home were left "revving with excitement" after a visit from 40 motorcyclists.

The bikers, including members of the local Triumph owners club, descended on Diamond House Care Home in Downham Market to show off their rides.

The event was designed to evoke cherished memories for many of the residents, some of whom have a long history with motorcycles, while also providing a unique sensory experience with the sight, smell, and sound of dozens of bikes.

"The classic and retro bikes, in particular the Triumphs, were of great interest to our residents, as those are the models they remember best."
