More than 2,500 motorcyclists have taken part in a toy run through the streets of Stoke-on-Trent.

Members of the public lined the 14-mile (22km) route to donate gifts for children's homes and charities.

The Star Bikers' 42nd Christmas toy run has so far raised about £3,000 for charity, organisers said.

The donated presents are taken to the Gingerbread Centre and distributed to children in North Staffordshire.
