Caravan park owners across the country have been rewarded for their hard work by the Caravan Club, as the group celebrates 50 years of certified locations.
The club held a ceremony in the House of Commons to mark the anniversary and present winners with their awards.
Certified locations (CL) are described as small, privately-owned sites that house five pitches for caravan insurance policyholders to use and are often found in picturesque rural locations or beside pub gardens.
Taking first place at the event was Keith and Jean Rogers, of Keal Lodge CL, Deeping St James, Lincs, followed by David and Jean Clarkson, who own Laithes Lodge CL in Blackpool and Roy and Hilda Griggs, Stoneyways CL, Woodbridge, Suffolk, who took the third spot.
Caravan Club Chairman Grenville Chamberlain commented: "Fifty years of these wonderful CL sites is real cause for celebration, and our winners here today are testament to the enjoyment and friendship that these locations offer our members."
The club, which has over 300 sites nationwide, recently announced it plans to invest in some of its sites in Scotland this year, having set aside £1.6 million to spend on its northern network.
