An estimated 20,000 spectators gathered on the banks of the River Ness on Saturday 4th November as the Highland Council's annual Display took place in Bught Park.
After enjoying performances by the City of Inverness Youth Pipe Band and the Fly Agaric Firestormers Display Team; the crowd cheered loudly when Provost Helen Carmichael stepped forward to light the giant 50 foot high bonfire, which quickly roared into life to everyone's delight.
After a short delay to enable the Fireworx Scotland Display Team to make some last minute adjustments as the gusts of wind increased in strength across the field; the spectacular 20 minute display under a full moon was enjoyed by all.
Afterwards Councillor Trish Robertson of the Inverness Events and Festivals Working Group thanked the thousands of spectators who had answered the Council's call to park well away from the site and walk to the event. "The support of the drivers bringing families to the show played a major role in keeping the traffic congestion to a minimum on the night and was greatly appreciated. "
