Money raised on the night will be split between four charities – Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Derian House Children’s Hospice, Preston Headway and the Jordan Grant 18 Memorial Fund (CRY – Cardiac Risk in the Young). Mark Tipping said: “Over the last 10 years we have raised over £123,000 for the charities and I think it will be a lot more after this one. The reaction to the crowd has been brilliant. It has took us about four weeks to put up. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it in the end.”
Here are 24 pictures of the spectacular display.
