The 24th London-to-Brighton Commemorative Run cruised into 91原创 Sunday afternoon for their annual drive that celebrates Britain eliminating the 鈥渞ed flag man.鈥�

In 1896, Britain eliminated the law that required a person to walk 50 feet in front of all motorized vehicles to warn pedestrians of the vehicle approaching and increased the speed limit from 4 mph to 14 mph, according to event organizers.

The Old English Car Club (OECC), the Vancouver chapter of the British car club, organizes the annual drive to align with the British celebration that happens each year.

鈥淭he run will also be taking place from London to Brighton in England on the first Sunday of November,鈥� said Lorna Hoare, event coordinator for the OECC.

鈥淲e鈥檝e been doing this for quite a few years now鈥� the idea is to have the right amount of mileage so that we are similar to the London-Brighton distance,鈥� said Hoare, explaining the group travelled 75 kilometres from Delta to 91原创.

Members of the car club rallied at the Delta Heritage Park and cruised together to Adrian鈥檚 at the Airport Restaurant at the 91原创 Regional Airport 鈥� where they stopped to have lunch.

Car enthusiasts wandered around the lot admiring the range of vintage cars in the crowded parking lot at the airport. There were 79 registered cars and 96 people who attended, but not all made the drive to 91原创.
