Weather-wise, they couldn't have picked a better weekend for the  Lincolnshire Wolds Railway 1940s event in North Thoresby and Ludborough.

The sun shone down on the village of North Thoresby, near Cleethorpes, today and everyone seemed to be enjoying this nostalgic family weekend.

In the North Thoresby village square some pupils from the the North Thoresby Primary School were singing some 1940s songs and then the 'dancers' started jitterbugging!

And in both villages the  steam railway linked the two communities with vintage bus operating a shuttle service between the two stations.

The 5-star rated Steaming Kettle Buffet at Ludborough Station was serving a  range of superb 1940s style food and drink.

The 1940s event continues tomorrow so take your little troops along and see what life was like back in the 1940s.
