Welcome Break opened by the M1 at Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, in the summer of 1960, and celebrates it's 65 years since opening as a motorway service operator (thank you Stephen!)

To celebrate, food artist Michelle Wibowo created a bright yellow car entirely of cake - with the design based on the Austin Morris 1100, the most popular car at the time.

The specially made cake was later served to the staff at Newport Pagnell Services.

In 1959, Motorway Service Ltd (a union consisting of Fortes and Blue Star) won the bid to build and operate the services at Newport Pagnell.

Welcome Break Newport Pagnell now has 24-hour service station, shower facilities, 28 fuel pumps - and 52 electric vehicle charging points.

Mr Steele said: "I wonder if the first people who stopped at Newport Pagnell way back in 1960 would have thought that in 65 years there would be electric cars, a variety of different food from across the globe at the roadside, and the opportunity to listen to your favorite tunes via your mobile phone."
