This weekend in Bristol they had a major firework display to celebrate the 200 anniversary of Brunel's birth - a man who probably single-handily changed the face of the city more than anyone else.

The display was based on the Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of the greatest bridges in the country, that he designed (although never saw completed - it was finished 6 years after he died).

Here's some photo's of the fireworks from the BBC Bristol site http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol

Thanks for that!

One of my favourite bridges.

Agh - knew this day was coming but damn press don't inform us about such amazing days..

Wow. Amazing pictures.

I would like to know one thing. In our english essays at school we aren´t allowed to mix american and british english so i decided to use the british way of writing. Now when i have joined this forum i´ve noticed brits spelling words like amasing with z, shouldn´t it be written with a s?

Thanks

^^ it is amasing with an s, but sometimes people like to write in short hand like this:
dis may b how u rite amazin

I've never spent amazing with an 's'


Great pics, especially the last one.

The word is spelt amazing, even in British English. Amasing is wrong :nono:
