Go Wills: Prince William climbs astride a Triumph Daytona at motorbike show

 
Press Association2 December 2013

The Duke of Cambridge paid a visit to the Motorcycle Live show in Birmingham - and thrilled everyone by getting onto a Triumph Daytona while everyone crowded around to watch.

The Duke appeared only too happy to climb onto the bike when prompted by a well-wisher shouting out from the crowd: "Go on, get on it."

With a laugh, William replied: "All right, then, if I have to," before sitting on the cruiser motorcycle.

The Duke was flanked by crowds wherever he went inside the arena, and one young girl who was lucky enough to have a quick chat with him said she was pleased to have met him.

Bronte Williams, 8, from North Devon, who was visiting the exhibition with her family, said: "He was very nice and chatty.

"He asked me what I enjoyed and I told him the off road show."

Just before leaving the Duke was presented with a gift for his son Prince George.

Event organisers gave him a balance bike for the young royal, which had the royal crest emblazoned on it, a "G" with a crown above it and the Motorcycle Live logo.
