LINK-Mag Local News Rainbows, hearts and heroes unveiled as Blackpool brings on the light.

show in partnership with Hangar 42 • A new “colour choreography” section featuring the latest LED and neon lighting technology along the Promenade It was also revealed that the replacement of lighting on The Blackpool Tower will be completed in time for Switch-On, meaning that the iconic centrepiece of the Blackpool Illuminations display will be fully lit for the first time in more than two years.

Blackpool’s 2020 Illuminations will feature a special tribute to the heroes of COVID-19 with a dazzling display of hearts and rainbows along the famous Golden Mile.

The section, which will also feature the faces of 50 nominated “Corona Heroes”, pays homage to the extraordinary efforts of the NHS and other key workers from around the UK during the pandemic.

They were selected from several hundred nominations by Blackpool Illuminations’ Creative Curator, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

Blackpool Illuminations, which will be presented under a theme of Bring on the Light, will run from Friday 4 September through to January 3, 2021 – the first time the Lights have shone over the Christmas and New Year period.

The key worker tribute is among several new features revealed at a preview event staged at Lightworks, the Blackpool Illuminations manufacturing depot, today (Tuesday 4 August).

Others include:

• A newly-refurbished pirate tableau developed in association with Coral Island and taking pride of place on the cliffs at North Shore.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: “This has been the most extraordinary year, but we are delighted that Blackpool Illuminations will shine throughout the autumn and winter months.

“The Illuminations have long given the British public a sprinkling of magic and a sense of escapism, and never have those qualities been more relevant than today.

“I have been particularly privileged to be able to see for myself the hundreds of nominations that have been put forward as Corona Heroes from across the country – the only shame is that we could not feature every single one of them.”

Cllr Gillian Campbell, Cabinet Member for Tourism & Culture, added: “We deliberately chose the theme of ‘Bring On The Light’ for this year’s display because it now feels like we are finally starting to emerge from a period of darkness that has truly tested the strength and resilience of a nation.

“We are particularly pleased to be able to pay our own unique tribute to the NHS and other key workers whose unstinting efforts and dedication has helped so many these past few months.”

It was revealed several weeks ago that the format of this year’s Switch-On event has changed to reflect the ongoing challenge of pandemic restrictions.

Instead of a live concert in front of 20,000 people on an outdoor arena in front of The Blackpool Tower, the 2020 display will be triggered during a virtual streamed event produced by MTV at 8.30pm on Friday 4 September.

It will be the first time in resort history that the Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On event has been accessible to a national and international audience.

LINK-Mag Local News Evolve Military College Selected for VE Day 75 Souvenir Book A brand new Blackpool based business has been selected to appear in a prestigious souvenir coffee-table book, published to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Evolve Military College are featured in “VE Day 75” which has been compiled by SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, and is offered to the nation free of charge.

Evolve has just opened it’s new centre in Blackpool.

Based on Burton road the new training centre

comprises of a completely refurbished facility with classrooms and exercise areas, as well as state of the art technology and is staffed entirely by former military personnel.

Written by experts including the royal correspondent Robert Jobson, VE Day 75 is a beautifully presented publication that tells the in-depth story of Victory in Europe Day. Featuring a wide selection of photographs from the day itself, the book documents the extraordinary events of 8 May 1945, honours those involved and reflects on how this victory has impacted on British society – right up to the present day.

Evolve Military College bridges the gap between young people leaving traditional education and starting military training with centres in Bury, Burnley, Blackpool and Wigan. Staffed entirely by former military personnel, it provides a robust, free of charge course lasting up to 26 weeks, to give 16-24

year olds the foundations and basic skills required a military career. An alternative route to higher education, it embraces military values and standards and covers a range of units including Military Knowledge, Fitness and Mental Strength and various Qualifications.

Managing Director Andrew Emmett said: “We were blown away when we were asked to feature in this commemorative book in recognition for the services we offer to young people who dream of joining the armed forces.

“The 75th anniversary is hugely poignant for anyone with a military background and it is the highest honour to be included”.

Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Gregory, Chief Executive of SSAFA, said:

has pulled together to defeat a common enemy. As we celebrate the VE Day 75, we should reflect on the values that allowed us to triumph against evil then, and which will help us deal with today’s threat – courage, selfless commitment and discipline.

“This could be the last time that we will be able to celebrate a major VE Day anniversary year with those who lived during the conflict; we must learn from their victory, never forget their sacrifices and be proud of our Nation today. That is their legacy.”

The VE Day anniversary weekend saw SSAFA publicise the anniversary and the publication VE Day 75 through print, digital and broadcast media.

“Dealing with COVID-19 is again testing the resolve of the Nation, just as it was tested during the Second World War. While those on today’s frontline are different to 75 years ago, the population once more
