6km of traffic-free 'open streets` await those taking part in Let`s Ride Leicester a free event with a focus on cycling. A route taking in The King Power Stadium, Leicester Castle, Leicester Cathedral and Jubilee Square features entertainment at various points from Jugglers to Drummers, Sambando, BMX Skills and more so there is something for everyone. Look out in the video for a man playing a Saxophone whilst being taken around the route in an adapted bike. My film follows the cyclists around the route and looks at some of the various stops around it.

On the 28th November the Duke And Duchess of Cambridge visited the King Power Stadium home of Leicester City Football Club to pay respects to the clubs late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha who died alongside two members of his staff, the pilot and a passenger in a helicopter crash after a Premier League game. The Royal couple arrived in the city by train before arriving at the stadium where they laid a tribute and HRH Prince William made a speech to invited guests. The couple then proceed to the University Of Leicester where they met representatives of Leicester and Leicestershire charities close to Khun Vichai`s heart. My film shows the royal couple arrive at the crash site as they go to pay their respects before being lead into the stadium to make a speech, we later see them departing the area headed for the university.

The City Of Leicester played host to an international friendly match between England and Switzerland on 11th September 2018 and the city came alive pre-match with a Fanzone on Jubilee Square featuring freestyle football displays and bands playing in the streets. My film starts off in Jubilee Square where the freestylers show off their skills before we follow a Jazz band as they perform in front of Leicesters famous sporting success statue and Clock tower, before heading back along high street meeting the three lions mascots as they return to the fanzone.

Pro cyclists in the annual Leicester Castle Classic race around the streets of Leicester once again on a route taking in the home of Leicester City FC (King Power stadium), the Leicester Castle over cobbles and around the Mile Straight the route makes up a 80km race in total. My film begins in the race village where the various teams and riders warm up before heading to the start line to begin the race, we then see the riders travel the course and negotiate the difficult cobbles around the castle where the bells of the church of St Mary de Castro ring out as the race passes. The race continues around the various twists and turns of the course before a dramatic collision on the final stretch which sees several riders injured, after expert treatment from the medical teams on hand and a slight delay the riders made their way to the podium where winner Gabriel Cullaigh collected his prize to the cheers of the gathered crowd.
