  For Children In Need 2025 local BBC Radio teams where challenged to walk 1000 miles between them tethered to another person in a three legged race of the type often seen at school sports days etc, At BBC Radio Leicester the challenge was met by Breakfast presenter Ady Dayman and women's sports show presenter Zoe McGrady . I joined the presenters, Pudsey bear and a crowd of people at a finale celebration as they completed the challenge at Husbands Bosworth Gliding Center the home of pyrotechnic display team @AeroSPARX who put on a spectacular display with fireworks to mark the occasion. We also see performances from EAGA Gospel Choir (Featured previously on this channel) and a tractor from Archers Tractor Run (also previously featured).

On the evening of Friday 13th, a day long associated with strange occurrences, bright lights appeared above the city of #Leicester performing an aerial dance across the sky. People below wondered what was happening as pyrotechnic flares shot from the Unidentified Flying Objects, calls where made to law enforcement by those trying to work out what the strange lights above them might be. The sky ballet continued as phones and cameras where pointed skyward, all too soon they disappeared. People where clueless as tweets and messages filled social media speculation was rife, first contact with aliens or maybe falling space debris re-entering the atmosphere where all suggested causes. In the end the explanation was far more down to earth, it was a aerobatic stunt display team named AeroSPARX helping BBC Radio Leicester launch their new drivetime show. On board high above the city where presenters Jimmy and Summaya experiencing a very different perspective of Leicester.
