More than 600 people took part in an annual scooter rally at the weekend.
Sid James Scooter Club held its third annual rally at the Sheppey Sports Ground, off Queenborough Road, Halfway, from Friday to Sunday.
Organisers have said it is the best rally they have had, and by Friday evening there were already more than 100 people setting up their tents to stay for the weekend.
There was live music from 1960s cover bands The Most and Biff Ban Pow, '80s ska band Arthur Kay and the Originals and Island brit-pop band Blighty.
A raffle and collection raised more than £300 for the Joshua Goodwin Asthma Foundation.
There was a competition for the decorated bikes, and about 80 scooters took part in a ride around the Island on Saturday.
The rally was organised by club members Paul Wilson and Paul Fox.
