The Prom was shut from Squires Gate Lane in South Shore to Red Bank Road in Bispham from 6 to 10.30pm so cyclists could make their way alongside the seafront and see this year’s lights three days early.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach was open once again, with riders able to cycle through the park as part of their journey.
