Streets in the Leicestershire village of Barwell have once again been transformed by a group of knitters into an Easter wonderland. Street furniture & fixtures have been wrapped in a variety of colourful knitted Easter characters from Easter chicks through to life sized rabbits and more. The splash of colour has brought springtime & a smile to visitors and residents of the village alike. My film aims to show a few of the creations but a visit is highly recommended.

I visited the annual continental market in Leicester. The event features foods crafts and more with traders traveling to the city from many continental countries, this is an event in which you will find German sausages alongside Mediterranean olives and coconut macaroons !. My film aims to offer a glimpse of the events many stalls and the atmosphere but is sadly unable to bring you the smells and tastes, for that you must attend the event itself which i thoroughly recommend.

I met the members of Braunstone Park Flyers model aircraft club in Leicester as they prepared and flew their planes on a sunny afternoon in April. The club meets regularly on Braunstone Park and welcomes members of all abilities to learn the basics of flying model aircraft.

On 13 April 2017 HRH Queen Elizabeth II visited Leicester, Traveling through the city Her Majesty and The Duke of Edinburgh where greeted by hundreds of flag waving royal fans lining the route before attending a traditional Maundy Thursday service at the cathedral. During Royal Maundy service the monarch distributed special minted money to 91 men and 91 women - representing each of her 91 years. My Video features the anticipation of the Royal car and offers you front row seats as Her Royal Highness passes by, later we see guests leaving as the royal standard is lowered.
