I shared it 2X's. Shock & awe 4 sure. Thanx. Good to know the Brits get a lotta bang for their taxpayer's bucks.

@foucault1020 Thanks for sharing our wanton destruction ... mind you it is pretty, innit? Plus the sounds of a full orchestra and choir makes them goosebumps rise!

it cost a fortune and yet the fecking country is in neck high shit. Politicians suuure are EEGITS! But yet... this is spectacular! I bet this was a source of entertainment for the lot of Brits. A bit of time to step out of their worries for a time. This is better than what we have here in the states. The best show i;ve been to was in New Hampshire for July 4rth back in 1999. This tops that hands down. I would have defo loved to be there to witness this. Cheers, Rikky Bro.

@Cyallaire Tyhat's kind ... it makes all that lighting blue touch paper and retiring worth the matches ;~)

I shared your video on Facebook, Rickyhardo. With all that expenditure of gun powder, more people ought to get to see it. Thanks again.

[Cyallaire]

Thanks so much for the explanation, Rickyhardo. I was thinking I had a dim recollection of Guy Fawkes Day right after I asked the question. As you know, Guy Fawkes is gaining popularity over here now, symbolically. I think the transition from the original event/character to the current symbol here is murky.
