Gold Wing Owners Club of GB will be hosting two parades around Oakham this weekend and is inviting locals to line the streets.

Organisers said: "We'd love it if the locals of Oakham and surrounding villagers would line the streets for our two parades around town. 

"To see 100+ bikes with their shiny lights (Friday night) and then their display of every European flags from the countries that will be attending our event (Saturday teatime) is a sight not to be missed by all ages.

"Our riders and pillions will be waving to you all for the whole of the parade and we'd love it if you waved back to us too.

"The Mayor of Oakham will be joining us and riding on one of the front bikes and we might just have one more special guest too."
