TOPSHOTS A street sellers sells novelty goods along the Blackpool Illuminations in Blackpool, north west England on October, 19, 2014. The illuminations, an annual event since their first switch on in 1879 stretch along the sea front for 6 miles (10 km) and use over one million bulbs. They were first installed in an attempt to extend the holiday season from late August until early November at a time when most other English seaside resorts' seasons are coming to an end.
