Pier launch for New Year's Day fireworks

Thousands of people marked the start of 2019 under the twinkling light of a spectacular free fireworks display off the Norfolk coast.

Featuring more than 3,000 fireworks launched from Cromer Pier, a location that starred in ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One's Christmas channel idents, the display is organised by the town council.

Each year it brings about 10,000 visitors to the seaside location, with many making a voluntary contribution via a bucket collection towards the cost of the following year's display.

A proportion of the money collected also goes towards helping local good causes. This has seen grant awards of more than £55,800 since the annual display started in 2000.
