PORSCHE owners gathered at a Worcestershire landmark to celebrate 60 years of enjoying the iconic brand.

Members of the Porsche Club GB gathered at Chateau Impney to mark the 60th anniversary of the group's first meeting.

This was held at the same venue in 1961, when a number of Porsche 356 owners met to establish the group.

Dozens of Porsches, ranging from classics to more modern examples, were brought along, as owners had the chance to meet up with their fellow enthusiasts.

The first ever meeting of the group had been due to be held in Birmingham all those years ago, but the advert for the event went in the paper too late.

The Chateau Impney meeting was the re-arranged one, allowing the group to be started properly.

Since then, the club has grown to become the second-largest club for Porsche enthusiasts in the world, with more than 22,000 members.

On Twitter, the group paid tribute to all members past and present.

The tweet said: "On this day in 1961, the first official meeting of Porsche Club Great Britain was held in the grounds of Chateau Impney.

"We owe an enormous debt to that early band of enthusiasts and the legacy they created."
