Lytham stepped back in time this weekend as the popular annual event returned to Lytham Green, bringing a taste of the 1940s to the Fylde coast. Held on Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, the event offered two full days of free entertainment, with visitors enjoying historic vehicles, music, dancing and military displays.
From vintage sights to period performances, the weekend provided plenty of memorable moments for visitors of all ages. Take a look through our picture gallery of photographer Andy Bell’s fantastic images to see some of the highlights from this year’s Lytham 1940s Weekend...
