Remember, Remember the 5th of November..............

There are so many great fireworks in the UK, and the rest of the world - Australia puts on a great show.

Also, the Brit's are known for their pomp and circumstance and putting on a show - remember Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee in 2022 - the country went crazy with celebrations.

It’s disingenuous to think that wasn’t a huge fireworks display. It was our 250 year anniversary so something big was befitting even if we don’t like the president.
