Leapfrog on Blackpool Beach


Everyone seems to have a smile for the camera in this short film taken on Blackpool's lively seafront, whether it's smartly dressed folk strolling on the promenade, or the younger crowd larking around on the sands, playing leapfrog and impromptu ball games. How many players do we have? Who cares? Sporting prowess is certainly not required, just energy and enthusiasm and the will to join in.
