Cycling club meets Wolverhampton Mayor and dress up sporting champion in the robes
Members of a cycling club which has been running for over 130 years have taken a trip to the Mayor's Parlour to find out more about the job.
The Wolverhampton Wheelers paid a visit to the Wolverhampton Civic Centre on Tuesday to meet the city's Mayor, Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE.
Sporting icons Hugh Porter MBE and his wife Anita Lonsbrough MBE accompanied some younger members of the club to see a slice of democracy in action.
The Mayor's mace and a selection of Hugh's cycling medals were on show, and Mayor Samuels also showed them the Civic regalia and silverware.
Club members were then taken them to the council chamber where full council meetings are held and the important decisions made.
Mayor Samuels said: "It was lovely to meet them all and answer their questions. We even dressed Hugh up as Mayor!"
The Wolverhampton Wheelers Cycling Club has almost 500 members aged five to 90 – and is healthier today than at any stage in its illustrious history.
The city's foremost cycling club caters for all ages and abilities, with members from five to 85.
