A group of Chessington dads who were shocked by the death of Baby P are organising a charity bike ride on what would have been the child’s third birthday.

Steven Manthy and about 20 friends will commemorate his life by cycling almost 60 miles to Brighton on March 1.

Delivery driver Mr Manthy said: “Most of us are parents and it has affected all of us. I’ve got two little boys and when I read about it in the newspaper, I wanted to do something.”

The group hopes to raise £3,000 for the NSPCC.
