AT times it felt like half the country had descended on Crosby for the day, determined to get a good view of the Tall Ships parade of sail.
Even those who could not escape from work on a Monday afternoon will be in no doubt that the day was a huge success, having battled their way through the traffic on the way home.
The Herald team was out and about yesterday capturing the action and atmosphere of the event.
Photographers Gavin Trafford and Suzy James were at the beach at Crosby and Waterloo respectively and right now chief reporter Gillian Stratton is editing the video footage she shot (her report will be online as soon as it is completed).
We have also had plenty of photos sent in by readers, which we will be putting in a gallery on www.crosbyherald.co.uk, and, of course, there will be plenty of coverage in Thursday's paper.
UPDATE - The video report is now online
