Lancashire's world-famous light show, the Blackpool Illuminations are drawing to a close.
As winter approaches and the main tourism season winds down, it's almost time for the six-miles of twinkling lights to be switched off.
Meaning those planning a late visit to see the attraction will have to be quick as the event has just a matter of days before it officially closes for 2019.
The final night of the Blackpool Illuminations takes place this weekend, with the lights being switched off for the final time this year on Sunday, November 3 at 11pm.
After Sunday, they will be taken down and returned to the purpose built Illuminations Department's Depot, which houses them ready for next year.
The individual light features are stored away, with those that need maintenance and repairs worked on by experts and stored away for the following season.
The annual event, which costs around £2.4 million to stage, was this year switched on in a glittering ceremony, with Coronation Street actress Lucy Fallon pulling the famous switch.
The event draws around four million visitors to the town each year, and runs for 66 nights along Blackpool 's seafront.
Over 20,000 people watched the official switch-on concert at Tower Festival Headland where Busted, Becky Hill, Nina Nesbitt, Sigma, Diversity, and Club MTV DJs R3Wire and Varksi all performed to celebrate the event.
New for 2019 included a whole section dedicated to Sooty and Friends, the famous bear who was discovered by Harry Corbett in a joke shop on Blackpool North Pier.
The illuminations also welcomed a new Northern Lights display that used state-of-the-art programmable LEDs that created a colourful and bright corridor of lights welcoming visitors to the town.
This year the Blackpool Tower landmark was dimmer than previous years, emblazoned with a glowing heart instead of the usual display of lights, with only the front sea-facing legs being lit up.
This is because each of the 25,000 lights on the tower are set to be replaced as part of a £200,000 investment project.
