One problem with holding the firework displays in the Lime Street area is that its not visible from long distance.
Apparently there were quite large crowds on the Wirral waterfront but many soon gave up and went home as they could not see much.

This excellent photograph by Stephen McIver (www.zestimages.com) was taken from Seacombe towards the end of the show.

Pete Carr on the other hand, like me, was probably too close to the action but his wide-angle lens helped him get some good shots
