It’s curtains for the famous Gaiety Theatre at Butlin’s Funcoast World, Skegness, as the demolition team moved in this week to dismantle the building - once the centre of showbiz glamour.
The theatre’s stage played host to a wealth of talent and a number of top names stars in its glory years.
Now it is to make way for a new development as part of Funcoast World’s £40 million facelift.
