A 1936 Morris 8 set off from County Hall in Haverfordwest on Monday afternoon on an 840-mile trip to France and back.

Classic car owner Simon Moffett from Crundale and his co-driver Stuart Churcher, are making the journey to attend a ceremony later this week marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Mametz Wood.

The First World War action - one of the bloodiest of the Somme campaign - featured soldiers of the 38th Welsh Division. There were 4,000 casualties.

Simon and Stuart are using the trip to raise money for Prostate Cymru and are hoping to raise £10 for every mile they cover.

They are also taking with them a plaque on behalf of the 14th Signals Regiment stationed at Cawdor Barracks, Brawdy.

Before they were waved off in front of County Hall by supporters - including Pembrokeshire County Council chairman Tony Brinsden - both Simon and Stuart attended a fundraising breakfast in the nearby Bristol Trader hosted by Brian Harries, chairman of the Pembrokeshire Friends of Prostate Cymru.
