NEW YEAR'S EVE FIREWORK DISPLAYS 2010 and 2011
by Kimbolton Fireworks
Kimbolton Fireworks are delighted with the success of New Years Eve.
Having fired the two largest displays in the country on the same night.
Kimbolton Fireworks were in Edinburgh for the fourth year to fire the
largest Hogmanay firework display from the Historic Castle in Edinburgh
and West Princes Street Gardens as well as a third site on top of Calton
Hill behind the National Monument. In challenging weather conditions
with high winds, temperatures well below zero and the remains of the
worst snow fall in recent times, the team north of the border delivered
another stunning display for the 80,000 strong street party on behalf
of Unique Events.

In London, Kimbolton Fireworks had been asked to fire the prestigious
Mayor of London New Years Eve celebrations for the first time on behalf
of event producers Jack Morton Worldwide. The display was centred on
the river Thames and the London Eye with an estimated live audience
of 200,000 people and a live television audience of over 11 million.
Firing from 3 large barges and 6 pyro pontoons as well as from 75 firing
positions on the London Eye including the Hub, a team of 32 pyrotechnicians
worked tirelessly from Boxing Day to rig 8000 fireworks using 4,500
firing cues in the ten minute display which was synchronised to a soundtrack
for the first time courtesy of Nihal of Radio 1. The display was hailed
as a master piece and described by the Daily Mail as the best display
the country had ever seen. With over 2.3 million hits this is the most
watched firework display on YouTube.
