CROWDS packed into Mayflower Park on Saturday for an afternoon of fun and fireworks.

The annual event, hosted by Southampton Round Table, saw live music from community radio station Voice FM and a funfair for the thousands visitors.

Rides were open to the public for much of the afternoon, before the sky over the river was lit up by the spectacular fireworks display in the evening.

A number of people watching took to Facebook to praise the work of volunteers to bring the display together.

Lisette Bell-Simmonds wrote: "Amazing night, my grandson loved the fair and the fireworks were stunning. Definitely going next year."

Money raised by the event will now be donated to charities based in Southampton.
