In the evening, 68 van owners took part in a drive out through Skegness followed by a light show back at the campsite - with one van boasting an impressive 3,000 LED lights.

Organiser Ray Lancaster said: “It was absolutely brilliant. Each year it has got bigger and better.”

Funds raised at the event are still being counted, but will be donated to the British Porphyria Association - a charity helping those born with a genetic porphyria disorder, which can affect the skin or nervous system.
