Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Garden Opening Day

A look around the Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Garden on opening day. On the one year anniversary of the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Leicester City Chairman Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha his Pilot co-pilot, and several members of his staff, the football club opened a memorial garden for fans and anyone wishing to reflect and remember. We begin by entering the garden alongside the first few fans and lay tributes beneath framed portraits of Khun Vichai and those who lost their lives before following the path around the garden taking in some of the various topiary and other features of the garden. My film ends at the well marking the spot where the helicopter came down.

One Giant Leap Festival - Overview Effect Projection

Part of the One Giant Leap festival in Leicester, Overview Effect is a outdoor spectacle celebrating the achievements of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing.
