Thousands of scooterists have made their way to the Isle of Wight for the return of what's been called 'the world's biggest scooter rally'.

Each year, over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the event attracts hoards of riders and 2024 is no exception.

Scooterists have set up camp at Sandown Airport, where there is an entertainment area with live music.

Today, they will take part in the famous ride-out.

Setting off at 1pm from the former ice rink in Ryde, riders will head towards Puckpool, Nettlestone and St Helens, then along Latimer Road to Bembridge.

From there, they will head to Yaverland, through Sandown High Street, Shanklin, Apse Heath before arriving back at Sandown Airport.

The event attracts up to 10,000 scooterists between August 22 and August 26.

The Isle of Wight Scooter Rally is an official BSRA (British Scooter Rallies Association) rally, with the official campsite and entertainment organised by VFM.

There are also many independent events run by scooterists and local venues.

There is plenty of live music in both Ryde and Sandown over the course of the weekend.
