We’ve trawled the archives to find the best pictures from that year. It’s incredible to think 1982 is actually 42 years ago, seems like yesterday and here we remember the finals of Miss Blackpool, dismantling the Illuminations, Blackpool Zoo and lots more. Do you recognise anyone? Remember the events?
