Skegness is blooming as visitors flock to the coast to enjoy the heatwave.

East Lindsey District Council grounds teams began planting in June.

A spokesperson said: “We have planted over 24,000 in total, mostly in Skegness itself, but also some in Woodhall.

"The planting was done over the space of less than a week fitting it in between the other tasks like emptying bins, litter picking, surfraking and toilet cleaning.

"It was a combined effort between around 10 of the operatives.

"The flowers are watered daily in the hot weather.”
