A PAIR of grannies on motorised trolleys were among the attractions as the Dancin’ Oxford festival got into full swing.

Crowds gathered at various locations around the city for performances from a mixture of professional and community dance groups.

Granny Turismo turned on the style in front of curious shoppers on Broad Street today.

Ian Reid, 36, from Witney even got a cheeky kiss of one of them.

He said: “The performance was amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it.

“I loved the idea it was very unique and great to watch – I would definitely see it again.”
