ENGINES roared as leather-clad bride Amanda Brazier and groom Billy Baillie rolled up on their bikes to get married.

The happy couple were followed by an impressive procession of 32 gleaming machines ridden by friends from across the country.

And Amanda's five-year-old daughter Rebecca, kitted out in a smart leather mini skirt, was a bridesmaid.

The wedding took place at Accrington Register Office followed by a reception at The Plough, Great Harwood.

Amanda's mother, Dorothy Jordan, of Moorhouse Close, Accrington, said: "It was a really special day. Amanda has gone through a lot in the past two years and it was wonderful to see her so happy.

"The bikers looked fantastic and their machines were breathtaking.

"Both me and her dad, Brian, were very proud."

Care assistant Amanda, 26, and Billy, 30, a welder, live in St Hubert's Street, Great Harwood.

They are enjoying a honeymoon on the East Coast.
