It was probably the best money could buy at the time; it was over a million pounds worth, Pyrotechnics and technology have come a long way in eleven years.
If you look closely enough you can just about see it in the River Thames shots. Of course there was a H&S problem with it, whch was not resolved in time for these celebrations, so it was not highlighted in this VT...
Thanks for the explanation. I understand your point of view, it was just a number. I suppose the UK, for political and worldwide prominence, had to waste a million pounds on fireworks. that said, the fireworks around the globe were breathtaking, Australia and France to name just a few. .Talking numbers, I suppose it's only once every 1000 years!.
It's not the world that's the problem, it's the people that inhabit it. I totally agree with your sentiments, and Thank You for taking the time to comment.
In the US, we usually celebrate New Years in a fun, cheesy, almost tacky sort of way. This was completely different - the differences of each region shown had more of an intimate feel, and was beautiful.
@electrogeek77 Hello there! Thank You for your comments. Bear in mind this was the Millennium celebration, with much excitement and joviality. In the UK we usually celebrate the New Year like this, though with not as much 'punch' as the Millennium celebrations attained.
Good times.
