A PARADE of 110 Ferraris drove along Billericay High Street at the start of a journey through Essex.

The event marked the 70th anniversary of the iconic brand.

The Ferraris left from an undisclosed location on Saturday, before passing through Billericay High Street at about 1pm.

Hundreds of people lined the streets to watch the procession. One lucky young boy was allowed to sit in one of the supercars, to the delight of the crowd.

The flash motors were then put on display in Bond Street, Chelmsford, from 2pm until 4pm, before travelling through Maldon high Street at about 4.45pm.

Another parade took place in Colchester at 5.30pm.
