Stockton Borough Council Firework Display | TUESDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2013

THOUSANDS of residents and visitors were delighted by Stockton Council’s annual thrilling fireworks display which took place last night.

Stockton’s fireworks display is one of the largest free displays in the country and this year 45,000 came to the Riverside to see the night sky illuminated with an amazing pyrotechnic display set in time to the greatest hits of legendary rock band Queen

The stunning firework display by local pyrotechnic firm, G2 was synchronised to Queen classics such as ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘We are the Champions’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

Before the fireworks began crowds were treated to a set of live music from Tees Valley band, the Collectors Club as well as the BBC Tees Roadshow hosted by Alistair Brownlee and Paul Gough.

Stockton Council's Cabinet Member for Arts, Leisure and Culture, Councillor Ken Dixon, said: “We know our annual fireworks display is a much loved community event and this year was no exception with thousands of people of all ages coming into the Town Centre to watch the display.

“Not only are these events free for local people to enjoy, but an organised display is considerably safer than privately organised displays in residents’ gardens. The event also provides a boost for local businesses and the Borough’s economy.

“We have a world-class, year-round events programme here in Stockton and last night’s event was another successful example of what we have to offer to provide amazing experiences for our residents as well as encouraging those from further afield to visit Stockton and boost local trade.

The event which is organised by Stockton Council is supported by Stockton Riverside College.
