About 8.40 this morning traffic was stopped on the Rodley roundabout to allow 2 green FF range rovers and about 6 police motor bikes to go the wrong way round the roundabout heading from Pudsey to Horsforth.

Anyone any idea what it was. My first thoughts were something to do with the Tour, and based simply on the colour of the cars something to do with the royal family being at Harewood for the start. However this is still days away so can't imagine it is anything to do with that.

Spotted today about 11am on A64 eastbound passing the Buckles Inn near York.

At least 4 police cars and 30 bikes escorting an anonymous looking grey Audi

There has been reports before of Harry and Charles in a grey Audi.

Not sure sure it remains particularly anonymous with that many police cars being with it.
