Essex Air Ambulance 2004 Motorcycle Run has been hailed a huge success.

The event, sponsored by Stena Line, raised a record £15,000 for the life-saving helicopter.

Stars appearing at Harwich included rock star Bryan Adams and model Jodie Marsh.

Essex Air Ambulance's Simone Robinson said: "The whole event fulfilled its promise of being a fantastic day for all the family."

"Bikers are extremely vulnerable on the roads and the EAA Motorcycle Run is a fantastic way of making people aware of the need for an emergency helicopter service within the county."
