My Sister and I attended the fireworks display at Ballyronan Marina, located on the NW shore of Lough Neagh, on friday evening. This was part of the 'Festival of Lights' event. Got some images of the display which where launched from a boat on the Lough, the atmosphere during dusk was fantastic with bonfires, fireworks, glow sticks, and the Moon and Jupiter with glitter paths on the water. The ISS also made an appearance. Here's a link to the full account with more images...

Spot on,Martin and the children enhance it, make it more a 'people ' thing rather than just a display.
