More than 100 vehicles were cleaned at the town's South Street fire station, with money also raised from a fundraising raffle and cake stall.

Firefighter Matt Basey told Oakham Nub News: "We had a fantastic response from the local community, by either getting their cars washed or donating to or supporting the raffle.

"Many local businesses also donated some fantastic prizes and helped us raise over £900."

The event was part of the National Car Wash League, The Firefighters Charity's largest national fundraising event of the year.
