The North Leicester MG Club met for a day run through the lanes of East Leicestershire celebrating the scrapping of road tax on classic vehicles and raising money for local charity the Rainbows Hospice For Children and Young People in Loughborough. I caught up with them at the end of the run in the Gates Garden Centre car park at Cold Overton. The classic cars all maintained to a gleaming finish by their owners looked spectacular in a variety of colours lined up in the parking bays. There where more than just MG cars too with a number of Morris Minors and even a classic white Jaguar on show.

After two years the Cicle Classic, Oakham - Melton cycle race returned to the farm tracks and dusty roads of Leicestershire and Rutland. My film starts in Oakham where we see the riders preparing for the race before speeding out of the town and onto the narrow and tight route reminiscent of european classics such as the Paris - Roubaix.

A look at the newly unveiled (at time of publication) Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Statue. Seen pre-match at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City hosted PSV Eindhoven in the Europa Conference League, this was many fans first look at the memorial to a great and generous man. The bronze statue stands with thumbs up and is situated outside the stadium on a blue plinth, forming a lasting reminder of Khun Vichai`s legacy at both the football club and the wider city of Leicester. Known as "The Boss" and "The Possible Man" Khun Vichai and Srivaddhanaprabha family created, and continue to create, in Vichai`s memory, a culture of togetherness and support between players, fans, owners and the community that is the envy of many teams around the world.
