Thousands of motorcyclists came to Southend seafront today for the annual Shakedown event.
However the number of people attending appears to have taken organisers by surprise. The central seafront area was full up by midday and event marshals attempted to close the area.
No more motorcycles were being allowed into the main event area to park but some motorcyclists were trying to avoid the road closures by driving up onto the pavements.
Hundreds more bikers continued to arrive into the afternoon.
