Although it's the first time in Southport, the families do community drives all across the north west and recently visited Blackpool and Morecambe
"This is the first time we've ever done a Southport drive. I'm not a traveller but there are a lot of traveller families here. We're all from across the north west. It's a big tradition."
Gerard, who is originally from Widnes but now lives in Rainford, was photographed by the ECHO along with his son Kenneth. He added:"You get into this because of family tradition. "My grandad did, so my dad did. You pass on the knowledge of how to drive and look after a horse. I normally come out with my dad as well but it's just me and Kenneth today."
The families parked their horse boxes and cars near Pontins before continuing on their journey along north Sefton's beaches by carriage. Cars slowly drove alongside or behind the procession and there was a small police presence. Gerard said:"People have been loving it. People have been stopping to watch or bringing out their kids to wave at us as we go by. It's a perfect day for it, we hope to do it again in the future.
