The people behind the event said this summer's festival was the perfect place for Walker to celebrate his long and illustrious career.

Fans of the kind of vehicles that require classic car insurance will find tickets are on sale now for the Silverstone gathering, which is scheduled to take place from July 24th to 26th.
