Leicester residents have been asked to send in their videos of why they love Leicester in a new initiative to boost the City’s image.
And the organisers have asked Keith Vaz to be the first. Mr Vaz has written his own poem as to why Leicester is a special city to him. His words have been set to music by the celebrated musician Kishorn Khan. He said he was “delighted” to be asked to contribute.
Keith says: “ I have not written poetry since primary school but wanted to show what Leicester means to me, and how the people and places have impacted on my life. It was actually quite easy. I have lived in these words and places for 35 years. We are quite simply the best City in the UK to live and work in.
