Southport and Bootle will light up this week to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Windrush migration.
Buildings in both towns will be illuminated in red, yellow and green to honour the thousands of African-Caribbean people who came to Britain in the 1940s aboard the Empire Windrush ship, leading to a cultural, economic and social boost across the UK, which is still seen today.
A flag marking Windrush Day, which takes place on Thursday 22nd June, will also fly from Southport Town Hall.

A special Windrush celebration event will take place in the Town Hall Gardens in Southport town centre this Saturday (24th June 2023) with live music, Caribbean food, story and craft tents and more. The festivities are being organised by the Southport African Caribbean Heritage Association.
Comprising thousands of individuals from the Caribbean who arrived in the UK between 1948 and 1971, the Windrush generation has had an indelible impact on the cultural, social, and economic fabric of the nation.
In recognition of their significant contributions and to honour their enduring legacy, Sefton Council is joining other local authorities across the Liverpool City Region in lighting up civic buildings throughout Thursday evening.
Southport Town Hall, Bootle Town Hall and The Atkinson, Southport will be illuminated in red, yellow and green.
A Culture Cooking Day will also take place at Cambridge Road in Seaforth.
