Miss Blackpool 1963 and other local scenes

Comedians Morecambe and Wise make an appearance in this entertaining reel from local filmmaker Jack Turner, when they join the judging panel for the Miss Blackpool Bathing Beauty Competition's Grand Final at the open air baths. We also visit Stanley Park for a veteran car rally, before a drive through the town's world-famous Illuminations brings the film to a colourful close.
