On Thursday 2nd June, with the nation enjoying the start of a long Bank Holiday weekend, the Blackpool Tramway celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee by having a Parade of trams from Pleasure Beach to Little Bispham. Featueing 13 trams, one of the highlights was the entry into service of Balloon 723 following a repaint into 1990s green and cream. Captured at Manchester Square after leaving depot we see 723 just passing fellow Balloon Car 700 by a temporary heritage stop. (Photograph by Gareth Prior)
