Every November to celebrate Guy Fawkes night , Markeaton Park in Derby is host to a great free Firework display. This year over 20,000 people visited Markeaton Park.This year it was held on Saturday 3rd November.Around 4000 fireworks were launched, A Bonfire was lit at 6.45 and the fireworks started around 7pm.The fireworks were organised by Reaction Fireworks of County Durham: http://www.reactionfireworks.c... footage I took was actually taken from the car park of Park Farm Shopping Centre, Allestree.Its a mixture of Video and photography, I did not use a tripod so not as good as hoped.Any Derbians out there that remember the Bonfire and fireworks events that used to be held on Normaton Park in the early 1980's. I remember those, not sure what year they stopped having it at that park do you?If you don't live in the U.K. and want to learn more about Guy Fawkes night then see here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... you enjoy.For photographs of Markeaton Park see my Markeaton Park page : http://www.derbyphotos.co.uk/a...
