I went to a 'Festival of Light' at home where they do these occasional 'artsy' thingys, as Folkestone desparately tries to reinvent itself as creative and thatThe finale was fireworks and a massive wooden phoenix being burnt on a rather large bonfire. As some local councilor was droning on with a speech listing the various wankers that helped, the fireworks started going off, the bonfire ignited and she was cut short as there isn't much you can do to stop it. People laughed.
Once the bonfire got going, and someone had seriously miscalculated the 'safe distance' for the public, the wind changed and blew fiery embers into the crowd and in apocalyptic scenes people panicked and ran away trampling toddlers underfoot. I had a nice hole burnt in my coat. It was great.
