@JDP_88888@Bournemouthecho Thanks for flagging this Tim, I can confirm that I am not a time traveller, and the disorder did indeed take place on Tuesday 26 May. Will change.
James and Henry have just finished the 10k. Henry says it was the "hardest Race for Life he's done" because of the heat, but both felt the support from the community cheering them on.
David (second from left) is running the 2026 event after being diagnosed with bowel cancer five years ago. Thanks Poole Hospital for their "brilliant support". Running alongside his brother John and seven-year-old daughter Elizabeth.
Yesterday evening I was on the scene at Bournemouth Pier, where police were called to break-up disorder on the beach after officers were reportedly 'assaulted' - here is what I witnessed...
A clear social tension between residents and the crowds of young people. Perception from some locals watching on from the Pier was that the youngsters visit from outside Bournemouth, have no consideration for the area, and then promptly leave it in a state.
