IT WAS billed as Hampshire’s biggest firework display, set to attract a bumper crowd of 15,000 people.

Thousands of people flocked to Mayflower Park as the the annual Daily Echo-backed display, organised by the Southampton Round Table, wowed crowds.

British pyro-musical champions Pyrotex launched the display this year, setting the city’s skyline ablaze with spectacular colours.

There was also live entertainment from Southampton community radio station Voice FM and a fun fair.

Chris Tahmasaby of Southampton Round Table said: “All money goes to support local charities in desperate need of help so it’s a big bang with a big impact!”
