Wednesday saw the UK take its first tentative steps out of lockdown, which has brought the Fylde coast to a virtual standstill since March 23 as we take steps to tackle the spread of coronavirus. The photos, taken by Dan Martino, show how Blackpool's Stanley Park has burst back to life as people make the most of being allowed unlimited outdoor exercise.

The birds comfortably outnumbered people on Monday Photo: Dan Martino
8. A change of scenery
There were far more people (and dogs!) as Wednesday's new rules gave us more freedom to get out and about Photo: Dan Martino
9. Keep your distance
Sitting on a park bench is now allowed - but we still have to follow social distancing guidelines and stay 2m from other people Photo: Dan Martino
10. Not a soul in sight
There was far less activity in Stanley Park earlier in the week Photo: Dan Martino
11. Good for the birds!
It's good news for the birds too, who will have been wondering why fewer people were coming to feed them! Photo: Dan Martino
12. Not just the park
And it wasn't just in Stanley Park where the difference could be seen. This was the M55 on Monday, before the rules were eased. Photo: Dan Martino
