Police, fire and ambulance crews were all at Southend's Priory Park - but it wasn't for a major emergency.
They were at a specially organised emergency services day where youngsters had a chance to meet crews and sit inside ambulances, police cars and fire engines.
It was arranged by the council's park rangers at Priory Park who were also on hand to explain about the park and its wildlife.
