Ride to the Wall (RTTW) is an annual fundraising event which sees thousands of motorcyclists from across the UK make a pilgrimage to the National Memorial Arboretum in order to remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
This video shows highlights from the 2023 event, including the ride in, and the service of Remembrance.

For those who have served their country, Freedom, Brotherhood, Respect and Tradition have a special flavor the protected masses will never be able to enjoy or appreciate fully. Great video and much respect from over the pond.
I rode down from Teesside. First time on the RTTW. Wow what a humbling experience. Great to see all the bikers supporting this. Walking round and reading the memorials to all the different regiments, battles. and armed forces in general. Makes you appreciate the sacrifice made by many thousands of our brothers and sisters, so we can live in freedom today! Very moving day. Will be going every year now. It's just such a big thing now, you just want to be part of it. Thank you to everyone involved in putting this on, everyone named on the wall, and of course to all past and present members of our armed forces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been to the National Arboretum. However, having watched this video, it has inspired me to visit and pay my respects to those men and women who are commemorated there. I have relatives from the First and Second World Wars who made the 'Ultimate Sacrifice'.
