Luton’s night skies a blaze of colour in fireworks extravaganza

The skies over Luton were a riot of colour and extravagance for this year’s annual fireworks display.

The crowds at Pope’s Meadow were treated to fireworks and entertainment at the free event, organised by Luton Council and sponsored by Luton Rising.

Rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds who began arriving at around 6.30pm to get a good spot to watch the spectacular which started at 7.30pm.

Entertainment started at 7pm and there were fairground rides, as well as hot food, snack and drinks available.
