The sun shone and crowds lined the streets as Sandbach Transport Festival's legendary parade took to the streets. 

The world-famous Foden's Band blasted out music in the parade as a long trail of cars and vehicles paraded through the streets at 1.30 pm yesterday (Sunday) as part of the two-day event on Saturday and Sunday.

Hundreds of people from all over the region visit the market town, once the home of ERF and Foden Trucks, for the popular event. 

It featured a motorcycle stunt team, a display of replica famous cars and a Spitfire plane and a new Foden and ERF exhibition.
