      Went a couple of times in the late 60s to the laminations they were fabulous then. I do think they've lost their sparkled really itsquite a poor show compared yo those times. Well done sir for showing us the Illu.inations 2023.

    @HolyFreakinDragonSlayer Před rokem +2

    Doesn't even seem 12 months since last uears vlog Stephen! I have to admit myself these lights arnt what they used to be.. by that I mean very much the same, same theme. Where as as a child there were magnificent hanging lights, mermaids, the Tiffany style lamps illuminations, even McDonald's had a sponsor one year I remember near the golden mile. Those were the best, happy memories or standing out the car sun roof waving the lights on.. ah those where the days ❤ Blackpool council or who ever runs these events get back to your roots and archives please

    Fair play cycling all that way. The lights have gone very poor compared to back in the day. Strange seeing sections with no lights and most sections are just a string of lights.
