MORE than 40,000 spectators turned out to Halton's annual fireworks display at the Silver Jubilee Bridge on Wednesday.

The huge crowd enjoyed a 20-minute fireworks spectacular set to music.

'The display itself was wonderful and the atmosphere among the crowds made it a great night all-round.

'Congratulations to our promotions and tourism for their hard work.'
