Blackpool's famous tower has been lit up in tangerine in honour of a father-of-three who died of cancer.
Friends of Chris Peachey, 38, who died last week, wanted the landmark lit in his beloved Blackpool FC's colours.
His widow Lisa said: "I just couldn't believe it when they told me. Chris would have been amazed, he was Blackpool through and through."
A tower spokeswoman said it was seen by "many in the UK as a beacon of hope and love" across the country.
