Eighty-eight children enjoyed the annual East Coast Truckers Convoy, travelling from Norwich to Pleasurewood Hills for a memorable day out.
Eighty-eight children have enjoyed a special day out as the East Coast Truckers Convoy returned for its 39th annual event.
The popular charity convoy set off from Norwich on Sunday 30 August, taking disadvantaged and disabled young people in truck cabs to Pleasurewood Hills theme park in Lowestoft.
Dozens of volunteer drivers gave up their time and vehicles to take part, with crowds gathering along the route to wave as the convoy passed.
Organiser Trevor Howlett said the support from people lining the streets helped make the children and drivers feel like celebrities for the day.
After an afternoon at Pleasurewood Hills, the trucks made their return journey through Great Yarmouth, travelling along the town’s Golden Mile before heading back towards Norwich.
Police vehicles escorted the convoy along the route, with emergency services and support vehicles also helping the event run safely.
East Coast Truckers stages the convoy every year to provide memorable experiences for young people with disabilities or those facing difficult circumstances.
The charity says the support of volunteer drivers, local businesses, emergency services and thousands of spectators helps make the annual event one of the highlights of its calendar.
