On Remembrance Sunday, the convoy, headed by Ian Gunby School of Motoring, arrived at Alnwick Castle to meet the next stage’s lead car, Vikki Holt, of Top Gun Driving School.

By kind permission of the Duke of Northumberland, a 45-minute event was held, which included singing sisters Emily and Lorna Smith, saxophonist Jonny D, free tea, coffee and cake and an appearance from Pudsey.

A two-minute silence was observed at 11am with Jonny D playing The Last Post and Reveille.
