Thousands of us in Nottinghamshire love a good day out in Skegness across the border in neighbouring Lincolnshire - and now it appears so do the BBC. The seaside resort had a starring role on BBC Breakfast this morning (June 17) as the town was put under the spotlight.
A special report from Skeggy highlighted the town's tourism and its recent addition of the Skeg Vegas sign. Designed to look like the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign in the USA, the sign was erected last month at Skegness Raceway and has already seen people stopping by to take selfies next to it.
During the segment on the popular BBC morning news programme, it was explained that the sign could become the most "instagrammable" spot in the town. It already has some famous fans with Gogglebox star Izzi Warner recently visiting the town, taking time to pose next to the sign - which states that Skegness is "not in Nevada" - and sharing it on Instagram.
