Thousands of motorcyclists and cyclists turned up this morning for the traditional pilgrimage to mark the feast of Our Lady of Graces in Zabbar.

The cyclists left from Rabat and the motorcyclists from Mosta.

They arrived in Zabbar amid a cacophony of horns, filling the main road in front of the parish church behind a van which carried a painting of Our Lady.

The pilgrimage was one of the biggest in recent years, according to some people who took part.

They were given a blessing by Archbishop emeritus Joseph Mercieca.
