I should have explained.

My friend Neil and I were out shooting photos and at first that they 
were just having a coffee break, we had a good laugh.

But then we noticed that the motorcycles were from several different 
local southshore towns and I figured that it was some sort of pan-police 
force meeting.

An hour or so later, they were all escorting one of the longest funeral 
cort?ges I've ever seen, to the graveyard on Hull's Telegraph Hill to 
bury a US Marine.

We didn't try to get close, so I don't know if it was someone from the 
current war or a much older retired serviceman.
