The convoy from Chichester, led by Bogor Regis driving instructor Steve Pearce, arrived at Arundel Castle last Friday afternoon.
The top-box was handed over on the castle lawns for the next part of the journey, a convoy from Arundel to Brighton. Arundel driving instructor Nigel Cull captured pictures with the castle as a backdrop.
David Lancaster, a Littlehampton driving instructor, led the convoy to the Amex Stadium, with the Pudsey top-box attached to his car. In honour of the occasion, he covered his car in Children in Need dots to help raise awareness of the relay.
