Guy Fawkes

6 Nov 2004

I tried to go see some fireworks last night but they started a bit early to get to on time so tonight there were some more and this time very conveniently close to my house. The organizers claimed it was the biggest free fireworks display in England and I can easily believe that.

It went on for a whole 18 minutes and was absolutely spectacular. They expected 30 000 to 40 000 people would show up, I am sure there were more.

Some photos that I took can be seen here.
