    It's provided entertainment for thousands of people over the last 23 years, but it's the last day of operations at Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes. 

    Visitors have had their pick of the rides - the Boomerang roller coaster, the Hyper Blaster, Mini Mine Train and Pendulum.

    Over the years it's been a significant attraction in Cleethorpes but the owner, Melanie Wood, told us visitor numbers had continued to fall and running the park had proved a struggle.

    It's the end of an era in Cleethorpes as the theme park Pleasure Island closes its doors. 

    The owners say they've made the decision because the park is seeing a fall in visitor numbers.

    The owners plan to celebrate 23 years of operation in the resort with a big fireworks display on Saturday.

    I've been looking back at the park's history.
