The group set off in the afternoon and made a stop for the essential seaside treat: fish and chips - enjoyed from the comfort of the minibus while overlooking the seafront. Although the weather wasn't on their side, the views and atmosphere made up for it.

With glow sticks in hand, residents travelled through the Illuminations on the bus, admiring the vibrant light displays and the iconic Blackpool Tower, which sparked plenty of excitement.

Among the residents was Tommy, who smiled throughout and was often heard saying, "That is lovely," as the lights passed by.
