HUNDREDS of spectators turned out this evening for a fireworks extravaganza in the grounds of Sixways Stadium in Worcester.
The planned social distanced drive-in display was brought forward from November 7 as the new lockdown rules would have prevented the display going ahead on the original date.
A spokesman for Sixways said: "We are sending everyone off into lockdown with a bang!"
Roads near to the stadium were at near standstill with cars hooting their horns in appreciation as a community came together on the eve of lockdown measures tightening.
Families stayed within their 'bubble' either inside their cars or to the right hand side if standing outside, to adhere to social distancing measures put in place by event organisers.
The air was filled with not just gunpowder but the cheers of delighted kids.
We previously reported on the annual event being cancelled for the first time in 15 years with the drive-in scheduled because of popular demand.
