Southampton International Boat Show is just a couple of months away, but they won't be having a special feature that was once an annual event - Ladies' Day.

Ladies' Day was first axed from the rota five years ago and is now missing from the programme each year, so the Daily Echo looks back at the day in recent years.

As usual, Mayflower Park is the chosen venue for the event, now in its 55th year.

The festival will host debuts from hundreds of boats, including yachts.
