UK City of Culture: Fireworks and projections start Hull 2017 please log in to view this image A spectacular display of fireworks and giant video projections has launched Hull's year as UK City of Culture. More than 25,000 people descended on the city's waterfront for the display, which organisers claimed to be bigger than London's New Year's Eve show. Historic buildings across the city became backdrops for projections illustrating the history of the area. Organisers said they hoped to attract more than one million extra visitors to Hull during 2017. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-38483517 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
