The world's first amphibious ice cream van has set sail in Blackpool.
The customised craft completed a maiden voyage in the resort on Monday.
It reaches a top speed of five knots and chimes Rod Stewart's classic 'We Are Sailing' as it ploughs through the water.
The 'HMS Flake 99' was specially commissioned by Fredericks, makers of Cadbury's ice cream, to mark National Ice Cream Week, which runs until June 5.
After a nationwide tour of Britain's beaches, there are plans to take the vehicle across the English Channel and on to the canals of Venice next year.
