Thousands of enthusiasts descended on Bexhill for one of the south's biggest motor festivals.

Hundreds of vintage and classic cars and motorcycles congregated on Bexhill's Edwardian seafront for their annual pilgrimage to the birthplace of British motor racing.

The cars, which made the journey from all around the country, made the journey to the site of the original track that was first used for motor racing in 1902.

They were joined by a jamboree of stalls, marching bands, children's rides and aerobatics, creating a carnival atmosphere by the sea.

The annual May Bank Holiday festival opened on Saturday with a parade of classic cars through the streets and evening fireworks display.

The highlight of yesterday's festivaldisplay was the Leon Serpollet steam powered Easter Egg which won the first ever Formula One meeting on British soil in 1902. The festival ends today.
