Scooter-riding youngsters have put on a free-wheeling display in a model town in Dorset.

Riders from the StreetLight Project in Wimborne Minster scooted around its famous concrete miniature town, which opened in 1951.

The model town – a 10th of the size of the real town as it was in the 50s – features 120 buildings, including a butchers, ironmongers, bakery and fishmongers.
