A founding member of the March Veteran and Vintage Cycle Club has shared his memories of meeting The Duke of Edinburgh at the opening of a new cycle scheme in Cambridge.
Colin Bedford said it was a huge honour to meet the Duke, who showed a genuine interest in the variety of historic bikes members had taken along for the royal event in 2004.
After he officially opened the new cycleway near Marshalls Airport, members of the vintage cycle club were then the first to ride the new route. The Duke even waved them off as they left.
