Around 100 cyclists are expected to take part in a ‘unity and respect’ bike ride to Manchester today.

The ride has been organised to show support for the victims of the Manchester bomb attack.

All money raised from the ride will be in aid of the ‘We Love Manchester Emergency Fund’.

Bradford's Lord Mayor will see the cyclists and support vehicles depart from the City Park, Bradford at 9am.

The route will take cyclists through Halifax, Todmorden and Rochdale before arriving in Manchester at approximately 4.30pm.

Cyclists will be greeted in Manchester by Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, who will receive a letter of Civic greetings and a small gift on behalf of the Lord Mayor of Bradford.
