Ep17 - Ride to the Wall 2025 | Thousands of Bikers Honour the Fallen

Every year thousands of motorcyclists ride to the National Memorial Arboretum for Ride to the Wall — a national act of remembrance honouring those who gave their lives in service.

This film follows the 2025 ride from Northampton Services to the Arboretum, through rain, flags and endless convoys of bikes, to the moment when families, veterans and supporters gather before the Armed Forces Memorial.

This episode isn't about bikes - it's about bikers, the very special community formed by motorcyclists and their families, and the respect and remembrance paid by that community to those members of the British Armed Forces who paid the ulitmate price in service of the nation.

Editing this one hit me harder than expected — the emotion of the day, the silence, the families and the music really stayed with me.

Note: The weather was atrocious on the day with gale forces winds and rain, so production values are not as I would have liked. Hopefully the subject matter stands by itself.
