            THIS  year's festival was
            another huge success, with tourists flocking in from miles around to
            see what has become one of the best events in the North West.   The event was full of things to see and do for all ages ranging from flying displays to power boat displays.   Even the Liverpool Clipper was in the Albert Dock ready for all to
            view. The HydraZorbs went down really well on the Saturday! They were provided by Goodyear and raised funds for the RNLI. 
            Despite the bad weather
            on the Sunday, the sunshine  on the Saturday made the numbers
            attending far higher than last year's event.   Even the
            worry that the massive re-building project would put people off
            coming and hamper their experience was never reality in the
            end.   One of the many tourist who came said:-
            "I am from London.  You could never put on such a friendly
            and open event like this in London.  This has been an amazing
            event, with lots to see for all ages.  From air displays to
            open boats, even bands and street entertainers.  I will be back
            her for the Clipper Race later this year.  I have never been
            before to Liverpool, but as it has been given the title Capital of
            Culture I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  Now I
            know and I will have to ay, I am gob-smacked." 
            We will let the photographs say the rest...
