Jubilation as Crowds Are illuminated.

On Monday night thousands watched the biggest display of Fireworks on Merseyside since the Garden Festival in 1987.  On the River Mersey estuary a tug boat pulling a barge moored up in the center of the channel to set off a barrage of fireworks that illuminated jubilated onlookers from New Brighten to Formby Point.  The 22 Thousand pounds worth of fireworks illuminated the skyline and the sound shook the ground.  The next day the radio as full of comments about how good they were.

The radar tower was fully lit up by the massive flashes and smoke hung like mist at times.
