Blackpool Illuminations - it's the sounds our lights generate that sum up their sheer Autumn magic. The gasps of delight from the youngsters gazing at their playtime heroes as they view the giant clifftop tableaux for the first time.

The whispered laughter of courting couples on a late night back-lit Promenade stroll. Or the eagerly-shared memories of older visitors sitting in a seafront shelter reminiscing about that charabanc trip through the Illuminations all those years ago.
