The fireworks were great last night. Well done UK. God Save the Queen before the display and a rousing version of Land of Hope and Glory. Would have preferred to hear Elgar to Vivaldi but all in all a good show. It was lovely to watch on the water and it kept it nice and cool. The ice cold wobbly pops helped. :thumbup:

Edit: Tho looking at the video, it seems to have been taken by someone who is... er not a professional. Expect better from Global BC given they are a bloody sponsor.
