Such a bustling place in summer, and the scene of so much seaside joy...

But Victor Burnside captured our historic bandstand at the front looking pretty in its winter glory.

Quick shout out to one of our friendly, welcoming and relaxing cafes in St Annes on Sea.

Throughout the year Mirrie Dancer Bakery & Cafe creates a lovely social vibe for customers. On Christmas Day morning they open their doors to give coffee and mincepies to anyone who would benefit from a friendly face.

Thank you for the image too....but you also shed glorious light in our town centre 💛💛

What a gorgeous image of the square in St Annes on Sea, by Sharon Gee.

It's the ideal place for last minute shopping or post-Christmas browsing and socialising.

Lovely to see LSA High School paying tribute to a Lollipop Lady retiring after 20 years of service!

Much-loved lollipop lady Bettina Magee has been a "familiar, friendly and reassuring presence" on the corner of Albany Road and Worsley Road, in all weathers.

Bettina - who goes by the name Bee - was known for her "positivity, cheerfulness and patience" and knew many children by name.

The school added: "Thank you, Bee, for everything you have done for our school community. You will be greatly missed, and we wish you every happiness".

This is FABULOUS and should have been the Christmas Number one! 😆

Superb photos and a very catchy song about Lytham St Annes and its vibe.

Thinking today of a tragedy that forever binds us with our 'neighbours across the bay', Southport. It's also the worst incident in RNLI history.

In December 1886, lifeboats from St Annes, Lytham and Southport launched to rescue the crew of the Mexico, a German barque being wrecked in a storm.

Only the Lytham boat returned.

27 brave lifeboatmen drowned, including the crew of the Laura Janet from St Annes on Sea.

Queen Victoria said: "A dreadful misfortune has happened on the Lancashire coast, the loss of lifeboats, and many lives, a terrible and inconceivable thing!"

Thinking also of the current crews on call over the festive season, and still guarding our sea and shore.

Over the next few days, there are people in St Annes on Sea who will get little or no time off.

Can we just take a minute to say a HUGE thank you to emergency workers, health and social care staff, and those who work in hospitality, under pressure to make sure everyone else has a good time!

Knowing this community, there will be people out cleaning the beach over Christmas too.

So, to everyone who goes that extra mile over Christmas and New Year in our lovely town, we see you, and we are grateful.
