The Honda 50 & Vintage Bike Run in memory of Damian Dempsey takes place on May 2
The second annual Damian Dempsey memorial bike run will take place this weekend, on Saturday, May 2.
Those looking to take part are being encouraged to ride their Honda 50s, or any other vintage motorbikes, on the day.
The run is being done to raise money for the Kevin Bell Foundation, who aided the Dempsey family greatly during Damian's repatriation.

The following day, Sunday, May 3, there will be music in The Hill Bar from 7pm until close.
There will also be spot prizes on the night.
Speaking ahead of the event, organisers said: "Eugene and Geraldine would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our family and friends for your generous support of last year’s Memorial event for Damian.
