Over 100 Honda Goldwing motorbikes will be on parade around Oakham twice this weekend and you're invited to support the spectacle.

A parade of lights is taking place tonight at 9:00 PM, tomorrow tea time at 5:00 PM. A parade of 24 nations represented at their annual rally will be taking part. They leave the Rutland Showground, a parade around the town centre with the route the same both times. They are also collecting for the Rutland Lions as part of their event. The Mayor of Oakham and High Sheriff of Rutland will be riding with them.

Cheryl Roulston told Rob Persani about their visit to Rutland, and how the public can support them:
