Scarborough Goldwing Parade Raises Over £9k for Air Ambulance

The Goldwing Light Parade took place last weekend for the first time in three years.

Thousands of people turned out to watch the parade of illuminated Goldwing motor bikes in Scarborough last Saturday.

The light parade has become an established part of Scarborough's event calendar over the last decade but COVID and the death of the Queen led to the cancellation of the previous events.

On Saturday evening over a hundred illuminated Goldwing's took part in the parade along the seafront with a free fireworks display afterwards.

The whole event was free to attend with spectators asked to make a voluntary donation in the Yorkshire Air Ambulance collection buckets.

Organisers of the event say the collection has raised £9,491 for the charity this year. That takes the total amount raise to date for the YAA from the Scarborough Goldwing Parade to £43,525.

The organisers have thanked everyone for their donations and say a date for next year's event will be announced in the next few days.
