Large numbers of bikers rode through central London and in front of the Houses of Parliament in protest at the prosecution of former soldiers accused of abuses in Northern Ireland during the so-called Troubles.

The 'Rolling Thunder' rally was made up of veterans and their supporters. They claim that recent attempts to prosecute veterans for abuses allegedly committed in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, are politically motivated and 'vexatious'.

They want the government to drop such prosecutions and take action to prevent them from happening in future.
