The Seaside comes to Nottingham

If you can't get away to the seaside for a day, then let the seaside come to you. They have created a seaside in the Market Square. There's a beach, swimming pool, helter-skelter, carousel and lots of eating places. I think they've done a rather good job, all in all.

It's not a place I would choose to eat at but they got into the spirit of the occasion well. I've never seen so many folks gathering on the Market Square without a fight breaking out.
Can you imaging people riding on the buses of Nottingham carrying their buckets and spades and telling people they are going to the beach?

I thought there was an irony about this shot. Was the ambulance was there to bring the sick and wounded or to carry away those who had been healed?
