Blackpool Tower was illuminated pink for a breast cancer awareness campaign run by Capital Breakfast radio show and charity CoppaFeel!.

Blackpool Tower was illuminated pink as part of Feel Yourself Friday, a campaign organised by Capital Breakfast listeners in support of breast cancer awareness. The initiative was run in collaboration with CoppaFeel!, a charity focused on promoting breast cancer awareness and encouraging regular self-checks.

Capital Breakfast co-host Chris Stark explained the campaign's scope. 'We had this idea about turning buildings and landmarks across the UK pink,' he said. 'We thought, Can we actually make this happen?' Listeners helped turn landmarks pink across the country, with a listener named Daryl in Blackpool lighting the tower. Burnley's Jordan North, another presenter, said: 'We have the best listeners in the world, bar none, so we have representatives up and down the country to see if we've gone pink.'

The campaign encourages people to wear pink and helps raise awareness of the importance of checking regularly. Listeners were also encouraged to help turn landmarks and buildings across the country pink.
