Harwich was host to a prince and a fleet of vintage cars which were taking part in a charity rally.
Prince Michael of Kent, pictured right, is heading a 3,000 mile drive across five countries to raise money for the charity the Friends of Russian Children.
The entourage passed through Harwich International Port on Monday en route to Esbjerg in Denmark on the ferry Dana Anglia.
Prince Michael is the patron of the charity and the journey with 12 vintage Bentleys will raise funds for a new sterilisation unit in the Children's Burns' Unit of Moscow's Speransky Children's Hospital.
The journey will finish in Moscow's Red Square.
