Blue Sky who arrived on her horse, Steel, (photo above) carried out the sacred dance to chase away the spirits, which have brought rain clouds creating torrential downpours for weeks on end across the country. Once the clouds have dispersed blue skies will give way to bring August sunshine.

Blue Sky was brought to the Lincolnshire coast seaside resort by bosses of Busters Fun Pub where she carried out the dance, on the seafront on what is according to ancient mythology and folklore the start of English Summer (Midday on July 31st).
In keeping with the ceremony a thanks giving of exotic meat and fish, Alligator, Ostrich and Shark served as burgers will be be offered to sun seekers in Busters Fun Pub, for the sunny days to follow.
The mayor of Skegness Councillor Ken Milner, (pictured with Blue Sky in the photo above) was present to witness the ritual dance, said, “He welcomed the ceremony being held in the resort which he thought was a good idea as Skegness wanted to welcome visitors with sunshine”.
