A carnival, which has been a fixture of Blackpool's summer season for decades, has been cancelled due to lack of volunteers.
Blackpool Lions Carnival, an events which has raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity issued a shock announcement on its website, scrapping the event.
The statement read: "It is with great regret that after 43 years, we have to cancel the Lions Blackpool Carnival.
"We no longer have the resources to effectively manage such a big event."
The 2007 event, which took place on August 5, raised £2500 for Brian House Hospice.
The event has been an annual fixture of Blackpool's summer calendar and thousands of visitors watch the procession of local groups and schools along the Prom.
