IN PICTURES: 10 images from Scarborough Sparkle Moonlight Lantern Parade

A host of lanterns created by Scarborough’s Animated Objects Theatre Company lit up the night sky around Peasholm Park to mark the launch of Scarborough Sparkle.

Brighlty coloured lanterns in all shapes and sizes, from emergency service vehicles to birds in flight, caused passers-by to stop in their tracks and watch the parade.

Friends of Peasholm Park carried a model of the pagoda which sits on the island in the centre of the lake, while members of Scarborough RNLI carried an illuminated lifeboat on their shoulders.
